حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ ذَرٍّ قَالَ ح حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَی بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ ذَرٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِجِبْرِيلَ أَلَا تَزُورُنَا أَکْثَرَ مِمَّا تَزُورُنَا قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّکَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا الْآيَةَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3218
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle asked Gabriel, "Why don't you visit us more often than you do?" Then the following Holy Verse was revealed (in this respect):-- "And we (angels) descend not but by the order of your Lord. To Him belong what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between those two and your Lord was never forgetful." (19.64)
