1803. Narrated Abū Ishāq: I heard Al-Barā' رضي الله عنه saying, "The above Verse was revealed regarding us, for the Anṣār on returning from Hajj never entered their houses through the proper doors but from behind. One of the Anṣār came and entered through the door and he was taunted for it. Therefore, the following was revealed: "...It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness) that you enter the houses from the back, but Al-Birr (is the quality of one) who fears Allāh. So, enter houses through their proper doors..." (V.2:189)

Arabic text

1803 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ البَرَاءَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: «نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِينَا، كَانَتِ الأَنْصَارُ إِذَا حَجُّوا فَجَاءُوا، لَمْ يَدْخُلُوا مِنْ قِبَلِ أَبْوَابِ بُيُوتِهِمْ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَدَخَلَ مِنْ قِبَلِ بَابِهِ، فَكَأَنَّهُ عُيِّرَ بِذَلِكَ، فَنَزَلَتْ»: {وَلَيْسَ البِرُّ بِأَنْ تَأْتُوا البُيُوتَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا، وَلَكِنَّ البِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقَى، وَأْتُوا البُيُوتَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا} [البقرة: 189]
