4591. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما regarding the Verse — “And say not to anyone who greets you (by embracing Islam), ‘You are not a believer...’” (V.4:94): There was a man amidst his sheep. The Muslims pursued him, and he greeted them by saying: “As-Salāmu ‘Alaikum (peace be upon you).” But they killed him and took over his sheep. Thereupon Allāh revealed in that concern, the above Verse up to: “... seeking the perishable goods of this worldly life...” (V.4:94) i.e., those sheep.

4591 - حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: {وَلاَ تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلاَمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا} [النساء: 94] قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: " كَانَ رَجُلٌ فِي غُنَيْمَةٍ لَهُ فَلَحِقَهُ المُسْلِمُونَ، فَقَالَ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا غُنَيْمَتَهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا} [النساء: 94] تِلْكَ الغُنَيْمَةُ " قَالَ: قَرَأَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ السَّلاَمَ
