Question:
What is the authenticity and the Arabic text of this narration?
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) said : “In every earth is a prophet like your Prophet, an Adam like your Adam, a Nuh like your Nuh, an Ibrahim like your Ibrahim and an Isa like your Isa.”
Answer:
The Arabic text of this narration as appears in Mustadrak Hakim and Al Asma Was Sifat of Imam Bayhaqi (rahimahullah) is as follows:
عن ابن عباس، رضي الله عنهما، أنه قال: {الله الذي خلق سبع سماوات ومن الأرض مثلهن} قال: سبع أرضين في كل أرض نبي كنبيكم، وآدم كآدم، ونوح كنوح، وإبراهيم كإبراهيم، وعيسى كعيسى
(Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 2 pg. 493, Al Asma Was Sifat, pg. 363)
We have discussed the authenticity of this narration previously. See here
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
