It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in the shade of a room, and some Muslims were also sitting with him. Now the shade was shrinking. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon a man will come to you who will look at you with the eyes of Satan. When he comes to you, do not speak to him. Meanwhile, a man with blue eyes came. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and spoke to him and said: Why do you and such-and-such people speak ill of me? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also mentioned the names of a few individuals. That man went and brought all of them. Then they all swore by Allah and apologized to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Meanwhile, Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: {یَوْمَیَبْعَثُہُمُاللّٰہُجَمِیْعًافَیَحْلِفُوْنَلَہکَمَایَحْلِفُوْنَلَکُمْوَیَحْسَبُوْنَاَنَّہُمْعَلٰیشَیْءٍاَلَآاِنَّہُمْہُمُالْکٰذِبُوْنَ۔} … The Day Allah will raise them all up, they will swear to Him as they swear to you, and they will think that they are on something (firm). Behold! Surely, they are the real liars.
(Second chain of narration) In this it is stated: Then this verse of Surah Al-Mujadila was revealed: {اَلَمْتَرَاِلَیالَّذِیْنَتَوَلَّوْاقَوْمًاغَضِبَاللّٰہُعَلَیْہِمْمَاہُمْمِّنْکُمْوَلَامِنْہُمْوَیَحْلِفُوْنَعَلَیالْکَذِبِوَہُمْیَعْلَمُوْنَ۔} … Have you not seen those who have taken as friends a people upon whom Allah is angry? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear to falsehood while they know.
