The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 2125 (#Ḥadīth #14)

14ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِإِيَّاكِ أَعْنِي وَاسْمَعِي يَا جَارَةُ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَعْنَاهُ مَا عَاتَبَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) فَهُوَ يَعْنِي بِهِ مَا قَدْ مَضَى فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِثْلُ قَوْلِهِ وَلَوْ لا أَنْ ثَبَّتْناكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئاً قَلِيلاً عَنَى بِذَلِكَ غَيْرَهُ.

14. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Abd Allah ibn Bukayr from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following: “The Holy Quran was revealed in a manner like, ‘I speak to you, but it is the neighbor who must listen.’” It is narrated, in another Hadith, from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following: “The meaning of ‘I speak to you, but it is the neighbor who must listen’, is that whenever Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has addressed His prophet in critical expressions they, in fact, are addressed to others and not the Holy Prophet such as: ‘Had We not strengthened your faith you might have relied on them some how,’ (17:74) is addressed to others (not the Holy Prophet).”’
