English

[6238] 43 – (1748) Mus'ab bin t t. (wA)—tr ['rrA] Sa'd narrated from his father that some Verses of Qur'ân were revealed concerning him. He said: "The mother of Sa'd swore 🙂 that she would not speak to him unless he renounced his faith, and she would not eat or drink. ,71 JI:Ll Jj She said: 'You say that Allah has Virtues Of The Companions 46 274 enjoined you to treat your parents well, and I am your mother, and I am telling you to do this.' "She stayed (like that) for three days, then she fainted from hunger. A son of hers who was called 'Umârah got up and gave her some water, and she started praying against Sa'd. Then Allah revealed this Verse in the Qur'ân: 'And We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents; but if they strive to make you join with Me (in worship) anything (as a partner) of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not111 (and)[21 '…But behave with them in the world kindly…" 31 He said: "And the Messenger of Allah acquired a great deal of booty, among which was a sword. I picked it up and brought it to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'Allocate this sword to me, for I am one whose situation you know.' He said: 'Put it back where you took it from.' I went, ['I Al-'Ankabât 29:8. 121 The word (and) is added to the translation, since as the text appears it runs together here. In the Qur'ân, these are two separate Ayah from two separate Sarah whose references we added in the notes. In his commentary on SahIh A1-BukhârI (no. 5970), Al-Hhfiz Ibn Hajar mentioned this narration and others who recorded it only mentioning the first Ayah, and in a version of Ahmad it does not say: "The Ayah," and in another version of Ahmad (1:181, no. 1567) it says: "and he recited until he reached." So these are apparently the two separate Ayah. Finally, he says the following: "And what is apparent to me is that the two Ayah were confirmed in the original, but that some of them dropped that (mistakenly) from one of the narrators. And Allah knows best." Implying that both of these Ayah were revealed on that occasion. Versions of this narration are mentioned in the Tafsir of Ibn KathIr at both locations. Luqmân 31:15 Virtues Of The Companions 275 gJt then when I wanted to put it in the place where the spoils of war were gathered, I decided to try again, so I went back and said: 'Give it to me.' He said in a loud voice: 'Put it back where you took it from.' Then Allah revealed the words: 'They ask you about the spoils of war…' 11 "Then I fell sick, and I sent word to the Prophet , and he came to me. I said: 'Let me divide my wealth as I wish,' but he refused. I said: 'Then half.' But he refused. I said: 'Then one third.' He remained silent, then after that one third was permitted. "I came to a group of the Anvâr and MuhâjirIn and they said: 'Come, we will give you food and wine.' That was before wine was forbidden. I came to them in a garden, and they had a roasted camel head and a small skin of wine. I ate and drank with them, then I mentioned the Ansâr and MuhâjirIn to them. I said: 'The MuhâjirIn are better than the Ansâr.' A man took one of the jawbones of the camel head and struck me with it, and injured my nose. I came to the Messenger of Allah and told him, then Allah revealed this Verse about me and about wine: '…Khamr (all kinds of alcoholic Al-A nra! 8:1. Virtues Of The Companions 4 276 aJi ' drinks), and gambling, and Al- Ansâb [stone altars for sacrifices to idols etc], and Al-Azlâm (arrows for [oo •[4. :Li] seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitâns' (Satan's) handiwork. ,,[1] ft- _,
