55 – Ishaq b. Ismaʿil and ʿAmr b. Muhammad narrated to us; they said: Sufyan narrated to us, from ʿAmr b. Dinar, from Tawus, who said:
Satan met Jesus, the son of Mary, and said, “O son of Mary, if you are really truthful, then climb this towering cliff and throw yourself from it!” Jesus answered, “Woe to you! Did Allah not say: ‘O child of Adam, do not test Me by bringing about your own destruction, for I do whatever I will’?”
٥٥ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عن طاووس قال:
: لقي الشيطان عيسى بن مربم فقال: يا ابن مَرْيَمَ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا فَارْقَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الشَّاهِقَةِ، فَأَلْقِ نَفْسَكَ مِنْهَا؟! فَقَالَ: وَيْلَكَ أَلَمْ يقل الله يا ابن آدَمَ لا تَخْتَبَرْنِي بِهَلاكِكَ، فَإِنِّي أَفْعَلُ مَا أشاء.
