229 – ʿAbdullāh narrated to us; he said: Hārūn ibn Maʿrūf narrated to us; Ḍamrah ibn Rabīʿah narrated to us, from ʿUthmān ibn ʿAṭāʾ, from his father, who said:
“The people of the town who had violated the Sabbath were called from heaven: ‘O people of the town!’ A number of them awoke. Then they were called a third time: ‘O people of the town!’ whereupon the men, women, and children all stirred; and it was said to them, ‘Be apes, despised!’ (al-Aʿrāf 166).”
٢٢٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: " نُودِيَ أَهْلُ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّذِينَ اعْتَدَوْا فِي السَّبْتِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ: يَا أَهْلَ الْقَرْيَةِ، فَانْتَبَهَتْ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ نُودُوا الثَّالِثَةَ: يَا أَهْلَ الْقَرْيَةِ، فَانْتَبَهَ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ وَالصِّبْيَانُ؛ فَقِيلَ لَهُمْ: ﴿كُونُوا قِرَدَةً خَاسِئِينَ﴾ [الأعراف: ١٦٦] "
