حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَی وَيُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِالشَّکِّ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِذْ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِي کَيْفَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَی قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قَالَ بَلَی وَلَکِنْ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي وَيَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ لُوطًا لَقَدْ کَانَ يَأْوِي إِلَی رُکْنٍ شَدِيدٍ وَلَوْ لَبِثْتُ فِي السِّجْنِ طُولَ مَا لَبِثَ يُوسُفُ لَأَجَبْتُ الدَّاعِيَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4026
It was narrated from Aibu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: “We are more likely to express doubt than Ibrahim when he said: “My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead.’ He (Allah) said: ‘Do you not believe. He (Ibrahim) said: ‘Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith. And may A have meity on Lut. He wished to have a powerful support. And if I were to stay in prison as long as Yusuf stayed, I would have accepted the offer.” (Sahih)
