4904. Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: While I was with my uncle, I heard 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy bin Salūl saying, "Do not spend on those who are with Allāh's Messenger, that they may disperse and go away (from him). And if we return to Al-Madīna, indeed, the more honourable will expel therefrom the meaner." I mentioned that to my uncle, who, in turn, mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet, called me and I told him about that. Then he sent for 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy and his companions, and they swore that they did not say so. The Prophet ﷺ disbelieved my statement and believed theirs. I was distressed as I have never been before, and
I remained in my house. My uncle said to me, "You just wanted the Prophet ﷺ to consider you a liar and hate you." Then Allāh revealed:
"When the hypocrites come to you (O Muḥammad ﷺ), they say: 'We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of Allāh...'" (V.63:1)
So the Prophet ﷺ sent for me and recited it and said, "Allāh has confirmed your statement."
