4663 - Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated to us, al-'Abbas informed us, Yazid narrated to us, from Sa'id, from Qatadah, regarding His saying: "Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' so we have believed": They heard a call from Allah, so they answered it, did good in it, and were patient for it. Allah informs you how the believer among mankind spoke, and how the believer among the jinn spoke. As for the believer among the jinn, he said: "Indeed, we have heard a wonderful Qur'an. It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone." [al-Jinn: 1-2]. As for the believer among mankind, he said: "Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' so we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die among the righteous."
4664 - 'Ali ibn al-Mubarak informed us, in what he wrote to me, Zayd ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us, Ibn Thawr narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, regarding His saying: "We have heard a caller calling to faith," he said: It is Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
His saying, the Exalted: "Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection."
4665 - 'Ali ibn al-Mubarak informed us, in what he wrote to me, Zayd ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us, Ibn Thawr narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj: "Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers": They are seeking the fulfillment of what Allah promised upon the tongues of His messengers.
4666 - Abu 'Ubayd Allah, the nephew of Ibn Wahb, Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, narrated to us, my uncle narrated to me, 'Umar ibn Muhammad al-'Umari narrated to me, that Abu 'Iqal narrated to him, he said: I heard Anas ibn Malik saying: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "'Asqalan is one of the two brides; Allah will resurrect from it on the Day of Resurrection seventy thousand who will have no reckoning, and He will resurrect from it fifty thousand as delegations and witnesses to Allah. In it are the ranks of the martyrs; their heads are severed in their hands, their jugular veins pulsating with blood. They say: 'Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection; indeed, You do not fail [in] Your promise.'" He said: Allah the Exalted says: "My servants have spoken the truth. Wash them in the River of Al-Baydah," and they emerge from it white, roaming in Paradise wherever they wish."

٤٦٦٣ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَنْبَأَ الْعَبَّاسُ، ثنا يَزِيدُ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَوْلَهُ: رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِلْإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا: سَمِعُوا دَعْوَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ فَأَجَابُوهَا وَأَحْسَنُوا فِيهَا وَصَبَرُوا عَلَيْهَا، يُنْبِئُكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ مُؤْمِنِ الإِنْسِ كَيْفَ قَالَ؟
وَعَنْ مُؤْمِنِ الْجِنِّ كَيْفَ قَالَ؟ فَأَمَّا مُؤْمِنُ الْجِنِّ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْنَا قُرْآناً عَجَباً يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَداً «١» ، وَأَمَّا مُؤْمِنُ الإِنْسِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِياً يُنَادِي لِلإِيمَانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَكَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَتَوَفَّنَا مَعَ الأَبْرَارِ.
٤٦٦٤ - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ، ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ثنا ابْنُ ثَوْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ: سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِياً يُنَادِي لِلإِيمَانِ قَالَ: هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَنَا عَلَى رُسُلِكَ وَلا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
٤٦٦٥ - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ، ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ثنا ابْنُ ثَوْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ: رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَنَا عَلَى رسلك: يستنجزون على مَوْعِدَ اللَّهِ عَلَى رُسُلِهِ.
٤٦٦٦ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ وَهْبٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ثنا عَمِّي، حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعُمَرِيُّ، أَنَّ أَبَا عِقَالٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: عَسْقَلانُ أَحَدُ الْعَرُوسَيْنِ، يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفاً لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِسَابٌ، وَيَبْعَثُ مِنْهَا خَمْسِينَ أَلْفاً وُفُوداً شُهَّداً إِلَى اللَّهِ فَفِيهَا صُفُوفُ الشُّهَدَاءِ، تُقْطَعُ رؤوسهم فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ، تَنْفُخُ أَوْدَاجُهُمْ دَماً، يَقُولُونَ: رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَنَا عَلَى رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ قَالَ: يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: صَدَقُوا عَبِيدِي اغْسِلُوهُمْ بِنَهَرِ الْبَيْضَةِ، فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهُ بِيضاً يَسْرَحُونَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حيث شاءوا.
