(3). 3314. Al-Ḥakam bin 'Utaibah said: "I heard Muḥammad bin Ka'b Al-Qurāzī – forty years ago – narrating from Zaid bin Arqam [may Allāh be pleased with him] that during the battle of Tabūk, 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy said: "If we return to Al-Madinah, indeed the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner."[1] He said:
'So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him, but he ('Abdullāh) took an oath that he did not say it. My people blamed me for that, they said: "What did you expect to accomplish from this?" So I went to my house and slept full of grief. Then the Prophet ﷺ came to me' or 'I went to him, and he said: "Indeed Allāh has verified the truth of what you said." He said: 'So this Āyah was revealed: There are the ones who say: "Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allāh until they desert from him."[1]

Commentary
Zaid bin Arqam informed his uncle who relayed the information to the Prophet ﷺ. He sent for Zaid, and Zaid told him too. It happened in the expedition of Muṣṭaliq. Relating it to the expedition of Tabūk is a misunderstanding of the narrator. [Tuhfat Al-Aḥwadhī: vol. 4, p. 201]. House means the tent during the journey.
