حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلٌ يَنْظُرُ بِعَيْنِ شَيْطَانٍ أَوْ بِعَيْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ أَزْرَقُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ عَلَامَ سَبَبْتَنِي أَوْ شَتَمْتَنِي أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا قَالَ وَجَعَلَ يَحْلِفُ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي الْمُجَادَلَةِ وَيَحْلِفُونَ عَلَى الْكَذِبِ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالْآيَةُ الْأُخْرَى
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2147
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said; The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "A man will enter upon you who looks with the eye of a devil or with the two eyes of a devil." Then a man with bleary eyes came in and said: O Muhammad, why did you insult me - or impugn me (or words to that effect)? And he started to swear oaths, then this verse in Sooratal-Mujadilah was revealed: "and they swear to a lie while they know" [al-Mujadilah 58:14], and the other verse.
