حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي أَهْلِ قُبَائٍ فِيهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَتَطَهَّرُوا قَالَ کَانُوا يَسْتَنْجُونَ بِالْمَائِ فَنَزَلَتْ فِيهِمْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 44
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: The following verse was revealed in connection with the people of Quba': "In it are men who love to be purified" (ix. 108). He (Abu Hurairah) said: They used to cleanse themselves with water after easing. So the verse was revealed in connection with them.
