Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ وَبَهْزٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلْتُهُ قَالَ عَنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ قُلْتُ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ رَبَّكَ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ نُورٌ أَنَّى أَرَاهُ يَعْنِي عَلَى طَرِيقِ الْإِيجَابِ.
