[7024] 1 - (2772) Zaid bin Arqam said: "We set out on a journey with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and the people encountered hardship. 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy said to his companions: 'Spend not on those who are with Allāh's Messenger, until they desert him.' And he ('Abdullāh bin Ubayy) said: 'If we return to Al-Madīnah, indeed the more honourable will expel therefrom the meaner.' "I went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told him about that, and he sent for 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy and asked him about that. 'Abdullāh swore a vehement oath saying that he had not said that, and he said: 'Zaid is lying to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.' I was very upset about what they said, until Allāh revealed confirming what I had said: 'When the hypocrites come to you...'[1] "Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ summoned them so that he could pray for forgiveness for them, but they turned their heads away. And His Words: '...They are as blocks of wood propped up...' [1] And they were rather good-looking men."

1 - (2772) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ، يَقُولُ: «خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ فِيهِ شِدَّةٌ» فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: لَا تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ حَتَّى يَنْفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِهِ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: وَهِيَ قِرَاءَةُ مَنْ خَفَضَ حَوْلَهُ، وَقَالَ: {لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ} [المنافقون: 8] قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ فَسَأَلَهُ فَاجْتَهَدَ يَمِينَهُ مَا فَعَلَ، فَقَالَ: كَذَبَ زَيْدٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي مِمَّا قَالُوهُ شِدَّةٌ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَصْدِيقِي {إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ} [المنافقون: 1] قَالَ: ثُمَّ «دَعَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ»، قَالَ: فَلَوَّوْا رُءُوسَهُمْ، وقَوْلُهُ {كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُسَنَّدَةٌ} [المنافقون: 4] وَقَالَ: كَانُوا رِجَالًا أَجْمَلَ شَيْءٍ
