عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَفَعَهُ: فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَمَنْ يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ} [الحج: 25] قَالَ: «لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا هَمَّ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍ وَهُوَ بِعَدَنِ أَبْيَنَ لَأَذَاقَهُ اللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa Abdullahi bin Masoud radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake (Hadithi Marfu'u): Katika kauli yake Aliyetakasika na kutukuka: "Na yeyote anayetaka, ndani ya Msikiti Mtukufu, kwenda kombo na haki kwa njia ya udhalimu na akamuasi Mwenyezi Mungu humo ndani, basi tutamuonjesha adhabu kali yenye kuumiza" [Al-Hajji:25] Akasema: "Lau kama mtu atadhamiria ubaya akiwa katika mji wa eden (Yemen) mbali huko, basi Mwenyezi Mungu angemuonjesha adhabu chungu".
‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported the following as Marfū‘ Hadīth: Regarding the statement of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic: {And whoever intends to deviate therein by evildoing, We will cause him to taste a painful punishment} [Surat al-Hajj: 25], he said: "If a man intended to commit deviation in it while being in Adan of Abyan (a city in Yemen), Allah would make him taste a painful punishment."
