[6238] 43 - (1748) Mu'ab bin Sa'd narrated from his father that some Verses of Qur'an were revealed concerning him. He said: "The mother of Sa'd swore that she would not speak to him unless he renounced his faith, and she would not eat or drink. She said: 'You say that Allâh has enjoined you to treat your parents well, and I am your mother, and I am telling you to do this.’ “She stayed (like that) for three days, then she fainted from hunger. A son of hers who was called ‘Umârah got up and gave her some water, and she started praying against Sa’d. Then Allâh revealed this Verse in the Qur’ân: ‘And We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents; but if they strive to make you join with Me (in worship) anything (as a partner) of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not[1] (and)[2]’ ‘...But behave with them in the world kindly...’[3] He said: “And the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ acquired a great deal of booty, among which was a sword. I picked it up and brought it to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: ‘Allocate this sword to me, for I am one whose situation you know.’ He said: ‘Put it back where you took it from.’ I went, then when I wanted to put it in the place where the spoils of war were gathered, I decided to try again, so I went back and said: 'Give it to me.' He said in a loud voice: 'Put it back where you took it from.' Then Allâh revealed the words: 'They ask you about the spoils of war...'[1] "Then I fell sick, and I sent word to the Prophet ﷺ, and he came to me. I said: 'Let me divide my wealth as I wish,' but he refused. I said: 'Then half.' But he refused. I said: 'Then one third.' He remained silent, then after that one third was permitted. "I came to a group of the Anṣār and Muhājirîn and they said: 'Come, we will give you food and wine.' That was before wine was forbidden. I came to them in a garden, and they had a roasted camel head and a small skin of wine. I ate and drank with them, then I mentioned the Anṣār and Muhājirîn to them. I said: 'The Muhājirîn are better than the Anṣār.' A man took one of the jawbones of the camel head and struck me with it, and injured my nose. I came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and told him, then Allâh revealed this Verse about me and about wine: '...Khamr (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al-Anṣāb [stone altars for sacrifices to idols etc], and Al-Azlām (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitāns' (Satan's) handiwork..."[1]

43 - (1748) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ آيَاتٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ: حَلَفَتْ أُمُّ سَعْدٍ أَنْ لَا تُكَلِّمَهُ أَبَدًا حَتَّى يَكْفُرَ بِدِينِهِ، وَلَا تَأْكُلَ وَلَا تَشْرَبَ، قَالَتْ: زَعَمْتَ أَنَّ اللهَ وَصَّاكَ بِوَالِدَيْكَ، وَأَنَا أُمُّكَ، وَأَنَا آمُرُكَ بِهَذَا. قَالَ: مَكَثَتْ ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى غُشِيَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الْجَهْدِ، فَقَامَ ابْنٌ لَهَا يُقَالُ لَهُ عُمَارَةُ، فَسَقَاهَا، فَجَعَلَتْ تَدْعُو عَلَى سَعْدٍ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: {وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي} وَفِيهَا {وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا} [لقمان: 15] قَالَ: وَأَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَنِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً، فَإِذَا فِيهَا سَيْفٌ فَأَخَذْتُهُ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ الرَّسُولَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: نَفِّلْنِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ، فَأَنَا مَنْ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ حَالَهُ، فَقَالَ: «رُدُّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ» فَانْطَلَقْتُ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُلْقِيَهُ فِي الْقَبَضِ لَامَتْنِي نَفْسِي، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَعْطِنِيهِ، قَالَ فَشَدَّ لِي صَوْتَهُ «رُدُّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ» قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْأَنْفَالِ} [الأنفال: 1] قَالَ: وَمَرِضْتُ فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَانِي، فَقُلْتُ: دَعْنِي أَقْسِمْ مَالِي حَيْثُ شِئْتُ، قَالَ فَأَبَى، قُلْتُ: فَالنِّصْفَ، قَالَ فَأَبَى، قُلْتُ: فَالثُّلُثَ، قَالَ فَسَكَتَ، فَكَانَ، بَعْدُ الثُّلُثُ جَائِزًا. قَالَ: وَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَقَالُوا: تَعَالَ نُطْعِمْكَ وَنَسْقِكَ خَمْرًا، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحَرَّمَ الْخَمْرُ، قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فِي حَشٍّ - وَالْحَشُّ الْبُسْتَانُ - فَإِذَا رَأْسُ جَزُورٍ مَشْوِيٌّ عِنْدَهُمْ، وَزِقٌّ مِنْ خَمْرٍ. قَالَ فَأَكَلْتُ وَشَرِبْتُ مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ الْأَنْصَارَ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ عِنْدَهُمْ. فَقُلْتُ: الْمُهَاجِرُونَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ. قَالَ فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ أَحَدَ لَحْيَيِ الرَّأْسِ فَضَرَبَنِي، بِهِ فَجَرَحَ بِأَنْفِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيَّ - يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ - شَأْنَ الْخَمْرِ: {إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنْصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ} [المائدة: 90]

[2] The word (and) is added to the translation, since as the text appears it runs together here. In the Qur’ân, these are two separate Âyah from two separate Sûrah whose references we added in the notes. In his commentary on Şahîh Al-Bukhârî (no. 5970), Al-Hâfîz Ibn Hâjar mentioned this narration and others who recorded it only mentioning the first Âyah, and in a version of Ahmad it does not say: “The Âyah,” and in another version of Ahmad (1:181, no. 1567) it says: “and he recited until he reached.” So these are apparently the two separate Âyah. Finally, he says the following: “And what is apparent to me is that the two Âyah were confirmed in the original, but that some of them dropped that (mistakenly) from one of the narrators. And Allâh knows best.” Implying that both of these Âyah were revealed on that occasion. Versions of this narration are mentioned in the Tafsîr of Ibn Kathîr at both locations.
