مسند أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه
Hadith 30:1519
Hassan and ‘Affan—the meaning being the same—narrated to us, they said: Hammad narrated to us, from ‘Ali ibn Zayd—‘Affan said: Hammad narrated to us, ‘Ali ibn Zayd informed us—from Abu al-Salt, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "On the night I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), when we reached the seventh heaven, I looked above—‘Affan said: above me—and behold, I was with thunder, lightning, and thunderbolts." He said: "Then I came upon a people whose bellies were like houses, in which were snakes that could be seen from the outside of their bellies. I said: 'Who are these, O Jibril?' He said: 'These are those who consume usury.'" "Then, when I descended to the lowest heaven, I looked below me, and behold, I was with dust, smoke, and voices. I said: 'What is this, O Jibril?' He said: 'These are the devils hovering over the eyes of the children of Adam, so that they do not reflect upon the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And were it not for that, they would have seen wonders.'"
حدثنا حسن، وعفان المعنى، قالا: حدثنا حماد، عن علي بن زيد، قال عفان: حدثنا حماد، أنبأنا علي بن زيد، عن أبي الصلت، عن أبي هريرة، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " رأيت ليلة أسري بي، لما انتهينا إلى السماء السابعة فنظرت فوق - قال عفان: فوقي - فإذا أنا برعد وبرق وصواعق "، قال: " فأتيت على قوم بطونهم كالبيوت فيها الحيات ترى من خارج بطونهم، قلت: من هؤلاء يا جبريل؟ قال: هؤلاء أكلة الربا، فلما نزلت إلى السماء الدنيا، نظرت أسفل مني فإذا أنا برهج ودخان وأصوات، فقلت: ما هذا يا جبريل؟ قال: هذه الشياطين يحرفون على أعين بني آدم، أن لا يتفكروا في ملكوت السماوات والأرض، ولولا ذلك لرأوا العجائب "
