حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ ‏{‏وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ‏}‏ قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَقْدَمُ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَإِنْ وَلَدَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ غُلاَمًا، وَنُتِجَتْ خَيْلُهُ قَالَ هَذَا دِينٌ صَالِحٌ. وَإِنْ لَمْ تَلِدِ امْرَأَتُهُ وَلَمْ تُنْتَجْ خَيْلُهُ قَالَ هَذَا دِينُ سُوءٍ.

حَرْفٍ দ্বিধা দ্বন্দ্ব। أَتْرَفْنَاهُمْ আমি তাদের প্রশস্ততা দান করলাম। ৪৭৪২:. ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَّعْبُدُ اللهَ عَلٰى حَرْفٍ সম্পর্কে বলেন, কোন ব্যক্তি মদিনা্য় আগমন করতঃ যদি তার স্ত্রী পুত্র-সন্তান প্রসব করত এবং তার ঘোড়ায় বাচ্চা দিত, তখন বলত এ দ্বীন ভাল। আর যদি তার স্ত্রীর গর্ভে পুত্র সন্তান না জন্মাত এবং তার ঘোড়াও বাচ্চা না দিত, তখন বলত, এটা মন্দ দ্বীন। (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪৩৮১, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
