حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی أُحُدٍ رَجَعَ نَاسٌ مِمَّنْ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ وَکَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فِرْقَةً تَقُولُ نُقَاتِلُهُمْ وَفِرْقَةً تَقُولُ لَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ فَنَزَلَتْ فَمَا لَکُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَاللَّهُ أَرْکَسَهُمْ بِمَا کَسَبُوا وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا طَيْبَةُ تَنْفِي الذُّنُوبَ کَمَا تَنْفِي النَّارُ خَبَثَ الْفِضَّةِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4051
Narrated Jabir: This Verse: "When two of your parties almost Decided to fall away..." was revealed in our connection, i.e. Bani Salama and Bani Haritha and I would not have liked that, if it was not revealed, for Allah said:-- But Allah was their Protector.....(3.122)
