Abū Nuʿaym narrated to us; Sufyān narrated to us, from Ziyād ibn Ismāʿīl al-Qurashī, from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbbād ibn Jaʿfar al-Makhzūmī, from Abū Hurayra رضي الله عنه, who said: “The idolaters of Quraysh came to the Prophet ﷺ and disputed with him about qadar (divine decree). Then the verse was revealed: ‘Indeed, We have created everything according to a determined measure’ (al-Qamar 54:49).”
Qabīṣa also narrated to us, and Sufyān transmitted the same report with this chain.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْقُرَشِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ﵁ قَالَ: «جَاءَ مُشْرِكُو قُرَيْشٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَخَاصَمُوهُ فِي الْقَدَرِ» فَنَزَلَتْ: ﴿إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَاهُ بِقَدَرٍ﴾ [القمر: ٤٩] حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بِهَذَا
