English translation
4728. Narrated Muṣ'ab : I asked my father, "Was the Verse — 'Say (O Muḥammad ﷺ) : Shall We tell you the greatest losers in respect of their deeds?' (V.18 :103) revealed regarding Al-Ḥarūriyya?" He said, "No, but it was revealed regarding the Jews and the Christians, for the Jews disbelieved Muḥammad ﷺ and the Christians disbelieved in Paradise and say that there are neither meals nor drinks therein. Al-Ḥarūriyya are those people who break their pledge to Allāh after they have confirmed that they will fulfil it, and Sa'd used to call them Al-Fāsiqin (evildoers who foresake Allāh's obedience)."
