عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَمِّي فِي غَزَاةٍ فَسَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيِّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ يَقُولُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ لَا تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَلَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَمِّي فَذَكَرَهُ عَمِّي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَحَلَفُوا مَا قَالُوا فَكَذَّبَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَدَّقَهُ فَأَصَابَنِي هَمٌّ لَمْ يُصِبْنِي مِثْلُهُ قَطُّ وَجَلَسْتُ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ عَمِّي مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَى أَنْ كَذَّبَكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَقَتَكَ قَالَ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ [سورة المنافقون: ١] قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَرَأَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ صَدَّقَكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I went out with my uncle in a battle. I heard Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul saying to his companions: "Do not spend on the companions of this Messenger, and if we return to Madinah, the honorable ones will surely expel the lowly ones from it." I informed my uncle of this, and my uncle mentioned it to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for me, and when I came to him, I told him what had been said. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul and his companions, so they came, but they swore that they had not said this. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) considered me a liar and Abdullah bin Ubayy truthful. This caused me great distress, more than I had ever experienced before. So I sat at home. My uncle said: "What made you say such a thing? Now the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has considered you a liar and is displeased with you." Until Allah Almighty revealed these verses: {إِذَا جَاءَ کَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ … } … When the hypocrites come to you, … . Now the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for me, recited these verses to me, and said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has declared you truthful."
