Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:10769 حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ ابْنِ مَرْجَانَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {إِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللهُ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ} فَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ أَهَمَّتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَبْلَهُ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ} قَالَ الْوَسْوَسَةُ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُهُ النَّاسُ وَقَضَى اللهُ لِكُلِّ نَفْسٍ فِي الْجَزَاءِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ
English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated that Abdullah ibn Umar recited this verse: {Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills} [2:284], and tears flowed from his eyes. This reached Ibn Abbas, who said: 'May Allah forgive Abu Abdur-Rahman. By my life, this verse troubled the Muslims before him, until Allah the Exalted revealed: {Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. It will have what it earned, and it will bear what it has earned} [2:286].' He said: 'The whispering of the soul is what people cannot control, and Allah has decreed for every soul regarding recompense what it has earned.'
