Ibn Sawwar, from Kurdus ibn 'Abbas, from 'Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud who said: The elite of Quraysh passed by the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while Khabab, Bilal, and Suhayb were with him, and they said: "Is it these whom Allah has favored among us? Should He command us to be followers of these?"
7343 - My father narrated to us, Abu Salih narrated to us, Mu'awiyah ibn Salih narrated to me, from 'Ali ibn Abi Talhah, from Ibn 'Abbas regarding His saying: "That they might say, 'Is it these whom Allah has favored among us?'" He said: The rich said to the poor: "Is it these whom Allah has favored among us?" meaning: Allah has guided them. And they only said that out of mockery and ridicule.
His saying: "Is not Allah most knowing of the grateful?"
7344 - Abu Sa'id ibn Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Qattan narrated to us, 'Amr ibn Muhammad al-'Anqazi narrated to us, Asbat narrated to us, from al-Suddi, from Abu 'Asad al-Azdi, from Abu al-Kanud, from Khabab who said: Then he mentioned al-Aqra' and 'Uyaynah and said: "And thus We have tested some of them through others, that they might say, 'Is it these whom Allah has favored among us?'" Allah the Exalted says: "Is not Allah most knowing of the grateful?"
His saying, the Exalted: "And when those who believe in Our verses come to you."
7345 - My father narrated to me, Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from Mujammi' al-Taymi who said: I heard Mahan say: A group came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: O Messenger of Allah, we have committed grave sins. He did not answer them with anything, and when they left, this verse was revealed: "And when those who believe in Our verses come to you, say, 'Peace be upon you. Your Lord has decreed upon Himself mercy'" [to the end of the verse]. So he called for them and recited it to them.
His saying: "Say, 'Peace be upon you.'"
7346 - Abu Sa'id ibn Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Qattan narrated to us, 'Amr ibn Muhammad al-'Anqazi narrated to us, Asbat narrated to us, from al-Suddi, from Abu 'Asad al-Azdi, from Abu al-Kanud, from Khabab, then he said: "And when those who believe in Our verses come to you, say, 'Peace be upon you. Your Lord has decreed upon Himself mercy'"—so we drew near to him that day until we placed our knees upon his knees. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to sit with us, and when he wanted to stand up, he would stand and leave us, so Allah the Exalted revealed:

ابن سَوَّارٍ، عَنْ كُرْدُوسِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ الْمَلأُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَعِنْدَهُ خَبَّابٌ وَبِلالٌ وَصُهَيْبٌ، فَقَالُوا: أَهَؤُلاءِ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا؟ أَيَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَكُونَ تَبَعًا لِهَؤُلاءِ؟.
٧٣٤٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عن ابن عباس، قوله: لِيَقُولُوا أَهَؤُلاءِ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا قَالَ: فَقَالَ الأَغْنِيَاءُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ: أَهَؤُلاءِ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا؟ يَعْنِي: هَدَاهُمُ اللَّهُ. وَإِنَّمَا قَالُوا ذَلِكَ اسْتِهْزَاءً وَسُخْرِيًّا.
قَوْلُهُ: أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِالشَّاكِرِينَ.
٧٣٤٤ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْقَزِيُّ، ثنا أَسْبَاطٌ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عسد الأَزْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْكَنُودِ، عَنْ خَبَّابٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الأَقْرَعَ وَعُيَيْنَةَ فَقَالَ: وَكَذَلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لِيَقُولُوا أَهَؤُلَاءِ مَنَّ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ بَيْنِنَا يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِالشَّاكِرِينَ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: وَإِذَا جَاءَكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا
٧٣٤٥ - حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ «١» ، عَنْ مُجَمِّعٍ التَّيْمِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَاهَانَ قَالَ: جَاءَ قَوْمٌ إِلَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا، أَصَبْنَا ذُنُوبًا عِظَامًا، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: وَإِذَا جَاءَكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ الآية. فَدَعَاهُمْ فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ.
قَوْلُهُ: فَقُلْ سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ.
٧٣٤٦ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْقَزِيُّ، ثنا أَسْبَاطٌ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عسد الْأَزْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْكَنُودِ، عَنْ خَبَّابٍ، ثُمّ قَالَ: وَإِذَا جَاءَكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ، فَدَنَوْنَا مِنْهُ يَوْمئِذٍ حَتَّى وَضَعْنَا رُكَبَنَا عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْلِسُ مَعَنَا، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُومَ قام وتركنا، فأنزل الله تعالى:
