حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ مَکَّةَ هَبَطُوا عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ مِنْ جِبَالِ التَّنْعِيمِ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِلْمًا فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُوَ الَّذِي کَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْکُمْ وَأَيْدِيَکُمْ عَنْهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَکَّةَ إِلَی آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2688
Anas said “Eighty Makkahns came down from the mountain of Al Tan’im against the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions at the (time of the) dawn prayer to kill them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took them captive without fighting and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set them free. Thereupon Allaah Most High sent down “He it is Who averted their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of Makkah, ” till the end of the verse.
