حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي السِّجِسْتَانِيَّ ح و حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ ح و حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ کَانَتْ الْمَرْأَةُ تَکُونُ مِقْلَاتًا فَتَجْعَلُ عَلَی نَفْسِهَا إِنْ عَاشَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ أَنْ تُهَوِّدَهُ فَلَمَّا أُجْلِيَتْ بَنُو النَّضِيرِ کَانَ فِيهِمْ مِنْ أَبْنَائِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالُوا لَا نَدَعُ أَبْنَائَنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا إِکْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنْ الْغَيِّ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد الْمِقْلَاتُ الَّتِي لَا يَعِيشُ لَهَا وَلَدٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2682
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: When the children of a woman (in pre-Islamic days) did not survive, she took a vow on herself that if her child survives, she would convert it a Jew. When Banu an-Nadir were expelled (from Arabia), there were some children of the Ansar (Helpers) among them. They said: We shall not leave our children. So Allah the Exalted revealed; "Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error. " Abu Dawud said: Muqlat means a woman whose children do not survive.
