Hadith Number: 5698
[ 9 ] باب بدء الخلق وذكر الانبياء عليهم الصلاة والسلام الفصل الاول 5698 - عن عمران بن حصين - رضي الله عنهما - قال: إني كنت عند رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - إذ جاءه قوم، فقال:"اقبلوا البشرى يا بني تميم!"قالوا: بشرتنا فاعطنا، فدخل ناس من اهل اليمن، فقال:"اقبلوا البشرى يا اهل اليمن إذ لم يقبلها بنو تميم!". قالوا: قبلنا، جئناك لنتفقه في الدين، ولنسالك عن اول هذا الامر ما كان؟ قال: كان الله ولم يكن شيء قبله، وكان عرشه على الماء ، ثم خلق السماوات والارض، وكتب في الذكر كل شيء، ثم اتاني رجل قال: يا عمران! ادرك ناقتك فقد ذهبت، فانطلقت اطلبها، والله لوددت انها قد ذهبت ولم اقم. رواه البخاري.
Imran b. Husain said:I was with God's messenger when some people of Tamim came to him. He said, "Receive the good news, B. Tamim," and they replied, "You have given us good news, so grant us something." Some of the people of the Yemen then entered and he said, "Receive the good news, people of the Yemen, since the B. Tamim have not accepted it." They replied, "We have accepted it. We have come to you to become versed in the religion and to ask you about what was the beginning of this matter." He said, "God existed and there was nothing before Him, His Throne being upon the water. He then created the heavens and the earth and inscribed everything in the memorial [*] ." At that point a man came to me and said, "Catch up on your she-camel, `Imran," for it had gone away. I therefore went off to look for it, but I swear by God that I wish it had been lost and that I had not got up and left. *i.e., the Preserved Tablet. Bukhari transmitted it.
