4090. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: (The tribes of) Rī'l, Dhakwān, 'Uṣaiyya and Banī Lihyān asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to provide them with some men to support them against their enemy. He therefore provided them with seventy men from the Anṣār whom we used to call Al-Qurrā in their lifetime. They used to collect wood by daytime and offer Ṣalāt (prayer) at night. When they were at the well of Ma'ūna, the infidels killed them by betraying them. When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ, he said Al-Qunūt for one month in the morning Ṣalāt (prayer), invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes, upon Rī'l, Dhakwān, 'Uṣaiyya and Banī Lihyān. We used to read a verse of the Qur'an revealed in their connection, but later the verse was cancelled. It was: "Convey to our people on our behalf the information that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us, and has made us pleased." (Anas bin Mālik added:) Allāh's Prophet ﷺ said Qunūt for one month in the morning Ṣalāt (prayer), invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes (namely), Rī'l, Dhakwān, 'Uṣaiyya, and Banī Lihyān. (Anas added:) Those seventy Anṣārī men were killed at the well of Ma'ūna.

4090 - حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رِعْلًا، وَذَكْوَانَ، وَعُصَيَّةَ، وَبَنِي لَحْيَانَ، اسْتَمَدُّوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى عَدُوٍّ، فَأَمَدَّهُمْ بِسَبْعِينَ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، كُنَّا نُسَمِّيهِمْ القُرَّاءَ فِي زَمَانِهِمْ، كَانُوا يَحْتَطِبُونَ بِالنَّهَارِ، وَيُصَلُّونَ بِاللَّيْلِ، حَتَّى كَانُوا بِبِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ قَتَلُوهُمْ وَغَدَرُوا بِهِمْ، فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «فَقَنَتَ شَهْرًا يَدْعُو فِي الصُّبْحِ عَلَى أَحْيَاءٍ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ العَرَبِ، عَلَى رِعْلٍ، وَذَكْوَانَ، وَعُصَيَّةَ، وَبَنِي لَحْيَانَ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ: " فَقَرَأْنَا فِيهِمْ قُرْآنًا، ثُمَّ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ رُفِعَ: بَلِّغُوا عَنَّا قَوْمَنَا أَنَّا لَقِينَا رَبَّنَا فَرَضِيَ عَنَّا وَأَرْضَانَا " وَعَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَنَتَ شَهْرًا فِي صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ يَدْعُو عَلَى أَحْيَاءٍ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ العَرَبِ، عَلَى رِعْلٍ، وَذَكْوَانَ، وَعُصَيَّةَ، وَبَنِي لِحْيَانَ» زَادَ خَلِيفَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ: «أَنَّ أُولَئِكَ السَّبْعِينَ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قُتِلُوا بِبِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ قُرْآنًا كِتَابًا» نَحْوَهُ
