(1). 3312. Zaid bin Aslam said: "I was with my uncle when I heard 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy bin Salūl saying to his companions: Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allāh until they desert from him.[1] If we return to Al-Madīnah then the more honorable will expel the meaner among them.[2] So I mentioned that to my uncle, then my uncle mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ. So the Prophet ﷺ called for me to narrate it to him. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent message to 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy and his companions but they took an oath that they had not said it. So he did not believe me and he trusted what they said. I was struck with distress the likes of which I had not suffered before. So I just sat in my house, and my uncle said to me: 'You only wanted the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to not believe you and hate you.' Then Allāh [Most High] revealed: 'When the hypocrites come to you'[1] So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent for me, and he recited it and said: 'Indeed Allāh has verified the truth of what you said.'" (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
