299 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: Dawud ibn ʿAmr narrated to us; he said: ʿAfif ibn Salim narrated to us; he said: Abu Shaybah the Grammarian informed us, on the authority of Qatadah, who said, “The thunderbolt struck the companions of Moses (peace be upon him) only because they neither broke away from their people over the calf nor took a decisive stand against them regarding it.” Abu Shaybah added, “It has reached me that when they were restored to life, they became prophets.”
٢٩٩ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَفِيفُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو شَيْبَةَ النَّحْوِيُّ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَخَذَتِ الصَّاعِقَةُ أَصْحَابَ مُوسَى ﵇ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُفَارِقُوهُمْ عَلَى الْعِجْلِ وَلَمْ يُجَامِعُوهُمْ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ أَبُو شَيْبَةَ: فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُمْ بُعِثُوا فَكَانُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ
