4558. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: The Verse :- "When two parties from among you were about to lose heart, but Allāh was their Wali (Supporter and Protector)..." (V.3 :122) was revealed concerning us, and we were the two parties, i.e., Banū Hārīṭha and Banū Salama, and we do not wish (that it had not been revealed) or I would not have been pleased (if it had not been revealed), for Allāh says: "... Allāh was their Wali (Supporter and Protector)."

4558 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَمْرٌو: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، يَقُولُ: " فِينَا نَزَلَتْ: {إِذْ هَمَّتْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْشَلاَ، وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا} [آل عمران: 122] قَالَ: نَحْنُ الطَّائِفَتَانِ بَنُو حَارِثَةَ، وَبَنُو سَلِمَةَ وَمَا نُحِبُّ - وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً - وَمَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّهَا لَمْ تُنْزَلْ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ: {وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا} [آل عمران: 122] "
