4901. Narrated Zaid bin Arqam رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: I was with my uncle and I heard 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy bin Salūl, saying, "Don't spend on those who are with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ that they may disperse and go away from him." He also said, "If we return to Al-Madīna, indeed, the more honourable will expel the meaner." So I informed my uncle of that and then my uncle informed Allāh's Messenger ﷺ thereof. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent for 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy and his companions. They took oath that they did not say anything of that sort. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ deemed their statement true and rejected mine. Thereof I was struck with such a distress as I had never been struck the like of it before, and stayed at home. Then Allāh تعالى revealed (Sūrat Al-Munāfiqūn): "When the hypocrites come to you..." (V.63:1) "They are the ones who say: 'Spend not on those who are with Allāh's Messenger...'" (V.63:7) "Indeed the more honourable will expel therefrom the meaner..." (V.63:8) Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent for me and recited that Sūrah for me and said, "Allāh has confirmed your statement." = A person having these six types (of hypocrisy) will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire (Hell). [See V.4:145]. There are five aspects of hypocrisy in deeds and actions, and their proof is from the statement of Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ): The signs of a hypocrite are these: (1) Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. (2) Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise). (3) If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest (if you keep something as trust with him, he will not return it). (4) And in another narration of the Prophet (ﷺ): Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil, insulting manner. (5) Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.

4901 - حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ عَمِّي، فَسَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ ابْنَ سَلُولَ يَقُولُ: لاَ تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنْفَضُّوا، وَقَالَ أَيْضًا: لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى المَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الأَذَلَّ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَمِّي، فَذَكَرَ عَمِّي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، فَحَلَفُوا مَا قَالُوا، فَصَدَّقَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَذَّبَنِي، فَأَصَابَنِي هَمٌّ لَمْ يُصِبْنِي مِثْلُهُ قَطُّ، فَجَلَسْتُ فِي بَيْتِي، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {إِذَا جَاءَكَ المُنَافِقُونَ} [المنافقون: 1] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ: لاَ تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ} [المنافقون: 7] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الأَذَلَّ} [المنافقون: 8] فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيَّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ صَدَّقَكَ»
