4900. Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: While I was taking part in a Ghazwa.(1) I heard ‘Abdullāh bin Ubayy (bin Abī Salūl) saying, “Don’t spend on those who are with Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ that they may disperse and go away from him. If we return (to Al-Madīna), indeed, the more honourable will expel the meaner amongst them.” I reported that (saying) to my uncle or to ‘Umar who, in his turn, informed the Prophet ﷺ of it. The Prophet ﷺ called me and I narrated to him the whole story. Then Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ sent for ‘Abdullāh bin Ubayy and his companions, and they took an oath that they did not say that. So Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ disbelieved my saying and believed his. I was struck with such a distress as I had never been struck the like of it before. I stayed at home and my uncle said to me, “You just wanted Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ to disbelieve your statement and hate you.” So Allāh تعالى revealed (the Sūrah beginning with): “When the hypocrites come to you...” (V.63:1) The Prophet ﷺ then sent for me and recited it and said, “O Zaid! Allāh confirmed your statement.”

4900 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَسَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ، يَقُولُ: لاَ تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنْفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِهِ، وَلَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الأَذَلَّ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَمِّي أَوْ لِعُمَرَ، فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَعَانِي فَحَدَّثْتُهُ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، فَحَلَفُوا مَا قَالُوا، فَكَذَّبَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَدَّقَهُ، فَأَصَابَنِي هَمٌّ لَمْ يُصِبْنِي مِثْلُهُ قَطُّ، فَجَلَسْتُ فِي البَيْتِ، فَقَالَ لِي عَمِّي: مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَى أَنْ كَذَّبَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَقَتَكَ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {إِذَا جَاءَكَ المُنَافِقُونَ} [المنافقون: 1] فَبَعَثَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَرَأَ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ صَدَّقَكَ يَا زَيْدُ»
