حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي حَرْثٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَهْوَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى عَسِيبٍ، فَمَرَّ بِنَفَرٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لاَ تَسْأَلُوهُ لاَ يُسْمِعْكُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ. فَقَامُوا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ حَدِّثْنَا عَنِ الرُّوحِ. فَقَامَ سَاعَةً يَنْظُرُ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ، فَتَأَخَّرْتُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْوَحْىُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏{‏وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي‏}‏.

Narrator: Ibn Masud

English translation
Narrated Ibn Masud: I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) at one of the farms of Medina while he was leaning on a date palm leaf-stalk. He passed by a group of Jews and some of them said to the other, Ask him (the Prophet) about the spirit. Some others said, "Do not ask him, lest he should tell you what you dislike" But they went up to him and said, "O Abal Qasim! Inform us bout the spirit." The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up for a while, waiting. I realized that he was being Divinely Inspired, so I kept away from him till the inspiration was over. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(O Muhammad) they ask you regarding the spirit, Say: The spirit its knowledge is with my Lord (i.e., nobody has its knowledge except Allah)" (17.85) (This is a miracle of the Qur'an that all the scientists up till now do not know about the spirit, i.e, how life comes to a body and how it goes away at its death) (See Hadith No. 245, Vol)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু মাস‘ঊদ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর সঙ্গে মাদ্বীনাহ্য় এক শস্য ক্ষেতে ছিলাম। তিনি একটি খেজুরের ডালে ভর দিয়ে ইয়াহূদীদের একটি দলের নিকট দিয়ে যাচ্ছিলেন। তাদের কেউ বলল, তাকে রূহ্ সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস কর। আর কেউ বলল তাঁকে জিজ্ঞেস করো না, এতে তোমাদেরকে এমন উত্তর শুনতে হতে পারে যা তোমরা অপছন্দ কর। অতঃপর তারা তাঁর কাছে উঠে গিয়ে বলল, হে আবুল কাসিম! আমাদেরকে রূহ্ সম্পর্কে জানান। রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম দাঁড়িয়ে কিছুক্ষণ তাকিয়ে রইলেন। আমি বুঝলাম, তাঁর কাছে ওয়াহী অবতীর্ণ হচ্ছে, আমি তাঁর থেকে একটু পিছে সরে দাঁড়ালাম। ওয়াহী শেষ হল। তারপর তিনি বললেনঃ ‘তারা তোমাকে রূহ্ সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করে। বল, ‘রূহ্ আমার প্রতিপালকের আদেশ......’ (সূরাহ ইসরা ১৭/৮৫)। [১২৫] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৭৮৭, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
