Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 47, Hadith 117

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah: “When Allah revealed this Ayah: ‘Say: He has the power to send torment on you from above or from under your feet…’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘I seek refuge in Your Face.’ So when (the following) was revealed: ‘Or to cover you in confusion in party strife, and make you taste the violence of one another (6:65).’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘This is less burdensome’ or ‘This is easier.'”

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏:‏ ‏(‏قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ ‏)‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْْ ‏(‏ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ ‏)‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ هَاتَانِ أَهْوَنُ – أَوْ – هَاتَانِ أَيْسَرُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏
