[4659] 116 - (1798) It was
narrated from 'Urwah, that Usâmah bin Zaid told him that the Prophet ﷺ rode a donkey, on which was a saddle beneath which was a blanket from Fadak, and Usâmah rode on it with him, behind him, when he went to visit Sa'd bin 'Ubâdah (who was sick) in (the dwellings of) Banû Al-Hârith bin Al-Khazraj. That was before the battle of Badr. He passed by a gathering which was a mixed company of Muslims, idolaters and Jews, among whom was 'Abdullâh bin Ubayy. 'Abdullâh bin Rawâhah was also present in the gathering.
When the gathering was engulfed by dust stirred up by the animal, 'Abdullâh bin Ubayy covered his nose with his cloak and said: "Do not scatter dust over us." The Prophet ﷺ greeted them with Salâm, then he dismounted and called them to Allâh, and recited Qur'an to them. 'Abdullâh bin Ubayy said: "O man, is there is nothing better than that? If what you say is true, do not bother us in our gatherings. Go back to your place, and if any of us come to you, you can tell him your stories." 'Abdullâh bin Rawâhah said: "Come to us in our gatherings, for we love that." Then the Muslims, idolaters and Jews began to rebuke one another, until they were about to come to blows, and the Prophet ﷺ kept trying to calm them down. Then he rode his
animal until he entered upon Sa'd bin 'Ubâdah and said: "O Sa'd, have you not heard what Abû Hubâb said? - meaning 'Abdullâh bin Ubayy - he said such and such." He said: "Pardon him, O Messenger of Allâh, and forgive him, for by Allâh, Allâh has given you that which He has given you, but the people of this town had agreed to make him their king, and when Allâh changed that by means of the truth that He has given you, that upset him, and that is why he is the way he is." So the Prophet ﷺ pardoned him.
