Narrated Ibn Mas’ud:
While I was walking in company with the Prophet in one of the fields of Medina, the Prophet was
reclining on a palm leave stalk which he carried with him. We passed by a group of Jews. Some of
them said to the others, “Ask him about the spirit.” The others said, “Do not ask him, lest he would say
something that you hate.” Some of them said, “We will ask him.” So a man from among them stood up
and said, ‘O Abal-Qasim! What is the spirit?” The Prophet kept quiet and I knew that he was being
divinely inspired. Then he said: “They ask you concerning the Spirit, Say: The Spirit; its knowledge is
with my Lord. And of knowledge you (mankind) have been given only a little.” (17.85)

from where he went out.”

Hand of Allah and when He Wishes to bring us to life, He does.” Then Allah’s Apostle went away
when I said so and he did not give any reply. Then I heard him on leaving while he was striking his
thighs, saying, ‘But man is, more quarrelsome than anything.’ (18.54)
