حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَدِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَمَا لَکُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ رَجَعَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أُحُدٍ وَکَانَ النَّاسُ فِيهِمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَرِيقٌ يَقُولُ اقْتُلْهُمْ وَفَرِيقٌ يَقُولُ لَا فَنَزَلَتْ فَمَا لَکُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا طَيْبَةُ تَنْفِي الْخَبَثَ کَمَا تَنْفِي النَّارُ خَبَثَ الْفِضَّةِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4591
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Regarding the Verse: "And say not to anyone who offers you peace (by accepting Islam), You are not a believer." There was a man amidst his sheep. The Muslims pursued him, and he said (to them) "Peace be on you." But they killed him and took over his sheep. Thereupon Allah revealed in that concern, the above Verse up to:-- "...seeking the perishable good of this life." (4.94) i.e. those sheep.
