(No. 347) ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us—my father narrated to us; Hāshim ibn al-Qāsim narrated to us; Ṣāliḥ al-Murrī narrated to us; Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī narrated from Abū al-Jald: Moses, peace be upon him, asked his Lord, saying, “My Lord, send down to me a decisive sign by which I may go forth among Your servants.” Allah then revealed to him: “O Moses, go; and whatever you would love My servants to bring to you, bring the like of it to them.”
٣٤٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أبِي، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحٌ الْمُرِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَلْدِ أَنَّ مُوسَى سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ – Exalté soit-Il – قَالَ: «أَيْ رَبِّ، أَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ آيَةً مُحْكَمَةً؛ أَسِيرُ بِهَا فِي عِبَادِكَ» قَالَ: «فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَا مُوسَى أَنِ اذْهَبْ، فَمَا أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ عِبَادِي إِلَيْكَ فَأْتِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ»
