حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَکِيمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِينَا سِتَّةٍ فِيَّ وَفِي ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَصُهَيْبٍ وَعَمَّارٍ وَالْمِقْدَادِ وَبِلَالٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّا لَا نَرْضَی أَنْ نَکُونَ أَتْبَاعًا لَهُمْ فَاطْرُدْهُمْ عَنْکَ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ قَلْبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ مَا شَائَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَا تَطْرُدْ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ الْآيَةَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4128
It was narrated that Sa'd said: "This Verse was revealed concerning us six: Myself. Ibn Mas'ud, Suhaib, 'Ammar, Miqdad and Bilal.The Quraish said to the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H: 'We do not want to join them, send them away.' Thoughts of that entered the heart of the Messenger of Allah as much as Allah willed, then Allah revealed: "And turn not away those who invoke their Lord, morning and afternoon seeking His Face. You are accountable for them in nothing, and they are accountable for you in nothing, that you may turn them the away, and thus become of unjust.''(Sahih)
