12936 - From 'Umar mawla Ghafrah, he said: Some of the People of the Scripture came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and asked him, saying: "O Abu al-Qasim, what do you say about a man who used to travel across the earth?" He said: "I have no knowledge of him." While they were in that state, they heard a creaking sound in the ceiling, and the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) experienced the intensity of receiving revelation. Then, it was lifted from him, and he recited: "They ask you about Dhu al-Qarnayn..." to the end of the verse. When he mentioned the barrier (al-Sadd), they said: "His report has come to you, O Abu al-Qasim, that is sufficient for you."
12937 - From Abu Hurayrah, he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "I do not know whether Tubba' was cursed or not, and I do not know whether Dhu al-Qarnayn was a prophet or not, and I do not know whether the prescribed punishments (hudud) are expiations for their people or not."
12938 - From al-Ahwas ibn Hakim, from his father, that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was asked about Dhu al-Qarnayn, and he said: "He was a king who traversed the earth with goodness."
12939 - From Ibn Zayd, he said: He was a single warner who reached what was between the East and the West. Dhu al-Qarnayn reached the two barriers and was a warner. I have not heard with certainty that he was a prophet.
Hisham ibn 'Abd al-Malik asked him about Dhu al-Qarnayn: Was he a prophet? He replied: "No, but he was given what he was given due to four qualities he possessed: when he was empowered, he pardoned; when he promised, he fulfilled; when he spoke, he was truthful; and he did not hoard the present for the future."
His saying: "And We gave him from everything a way (sabab)."
12940 - From Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding His saying: "And We gave him from everything a way," he said: "Knowledge."
His saying: "So he followed a way."
12941 - From Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding His saying: "So he followed a way," he said: "A route."

١٢٩٣٦ - عَنْ عمر مولى غفرة قَالَ: دَخَلَ بعض أَهْل الْكِتَاب عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فسألوه فقالوا: «يا أبا القَاسِم، كيف تقول في رجل كَانَ يسيح في الأَرْض؟ قَالَ: لا علم لي به. فبينما هم عَلَى ذَلِكَ إذ سمعوا نقيضًا في السقف، ووجد رسول الله صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غمة الوحي، ثُمَّ سري عنه فتلا ويسئلونك عن ذي القرنين الآية. فلما ذكر السد قالوا: أتاك خبره يا أبا القَاسِم، حسبك» «١» .
١٢٩٣٧ - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسلم: «مَا أدري أتبع كَانَ لعينا أم لا، وما أدري أذو القرنين كَانَ نبيًا أم لا، وما أدري الحدود كفارات لأهلها أم لا» «٢» .
١٢٩٣٨ - عَنْ الأحوص بن حكيم عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذي القرنين فقال: «هُوَ ملك مسح الأَرْض بالإحسان» «٣» .
١٢٩٣٩ - عَنِ ابْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: كَانَ نَذِيرًا وَاحِدًا بَلَغَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، ذو القرنين بلغ السدين وكان نذيرًا، لَمْ أسمع بحق أنه كَانَ نبيًا «٤» .
إِنَّ هشام بن عَبْد الملك سأله عَنْ ذي القرنين: أكان نبيًا؟ فقال: لا، ولكنه إنما أُعْطِيَ مَا أُعْطِيَ بأربع خصال كَانَ فيه: كَانَ إِذَا قدر عفا، وَإِذَا وعد وفى، وَإِذَا حدث صدق، ولا يجمع اليوم لغد.
