Sahih al-Bukhari 3617

Hadith text

Narrated Anas:There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-`Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: "Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die, and the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body out of it because he had run away from them." They again dug the grave deeply for him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is an act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and threw his body outside it, for he had run away from them." They dug the grave for him as deep as they could, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. So they believed that what had befallen him was not done by human beings and had to leave him thrown (on the ground)

Anas bataate hain: Ek Isaee tha jisne Islam qubool kiya aur Surah Al-Baqara aur Al-Imran padhi, aur woh Nabi ke liye (wahi) likhta tha. Baad mein woh phir Isaee ban gaya aur kehta tha, "Muhammad ko kuch nahi pata siwaye jo maine unke liye likha." Phir Allah ne unhe maar diya, aur logon ne unhe dafanaya, magar subah unhone dekha ke zameen ne unka jism bahar phenk diya tha. Unhone kaha, "Yeh Muhammad aur unke sathiyon ka kaam hai. Unhone humare sathi ki qabar khod di aur unka jism nikal liya kyunke woh unse bhaag gaya tha." Unhone unke liye phir gahra gaddha khoda, magar subah unhone phir dekha zameen ne unka jism bahar phenk diya tha. Unhone kaha, "Yeh Muhammad aur unke sathiyon ka kaam hai. Unhone humare sathi ki qabar khoda aur unka jism baahar phenk diya, kyunke woh unse bhaag gaya tha." Unhone unke liye jitni gahri ho sake khoda, magar subah unhone phir dekha zameen ne unka jism bahar phenk diya tha. Isliye unhone vishwas kiya ke jo unke saath hua woh insaanon ka kaam nahi tha aur unhe pheka hua chhodna pada.
