حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَرْثٍ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى عَسِيبٍ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ نَفَرٌ مِنْ الْيَهُودِ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ الرُّوحِ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنْ الرُّوحِ قُلْ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنْ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3898
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (RA) said: Whilst the Prophet (PBUH) was in some farmland, leaning on a palm tree branch, some of the Jews came to him and asked him about the spirit. He remained silent, then he recited this verse to them: "And they ask you (O Muhammad (PBUH)) concerning the Rooh (the spirit). Say: 'The RooJi (the spirit) is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little'" fal-Isra' 17:85],
