with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) that they may disperse and go away from him.” He also said, “If we return to
Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel the meaner.” So I informed my uncle of that and then
my uncle informed Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) thereof. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent for `Abdullah bin Ubai and his
companions. They swore that they did not say anything of that sort Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) deemed their
statement true and rejected mine. Thereof I became as distressed as I have never been before, and
stayed at home. Then Allah revealed (Surat Al-Munafiqin):
‘When the hypocrites come to you…..(63.1) They are the ones who say: Spend nothing on those who
are with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ..(63.7) Verily the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner..’ (63.7-8)
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent for me and recited that Sura for me and said, “Allah has confirmed your
statement.”
