4903. Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: We went out with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey and the people suffered from lack of provisions. So 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy said to his companions, "Don't spend on those who are with Allāh's Messenger, that they may disperse and go away from him." He also said, "If we return to Al-Madina, indeed, the more honourable will expel therefrom the meaner." So I went
to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of that. He sent for 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy and asked him, but 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy swore that he did not say so. The people said, "Zaid told a lie to Allāh's Messenger." What they said distressed me very much. Later, Allāh revealed the confirmation of my statement in His Saying:
"When the hypocrites come to you..." (V.63:1)
So the Prophet ﷺ called them that they might ask Allāh to forgive them, but they turned their heads aside. (Concerning Allāh's Saying: "Blocks of wood propped up..." Zaid said: They were the most handsome men.)
