حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَی أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْکُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِکُمْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِکَ فَقَالَ أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِکُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِکَ قَالَ أَوْ يَلْبِسَکُمْ شِيَعًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا أَيْسَرُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7406
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: when this Verse:--'Say (O Muhammad!): He has Power to send torments on you from above,' (6.65) was revealed; The Prophet said, "I take refuge with Your Face." Allah revealed:-- '..or from underneath your feet.' (6.65) The Prophet then said, "I seek refuge with Your Face!" Then Allah revealed:--'...or confuse you in party-strife.' (6.65) Oh that, the Prophet said, "This is easier."
