حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ فِيهِ شِدَّةٌ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ لِأَصْحَابِهِ : " لَا تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنْفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِهِ ، وَقَالَ : لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ، فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَاجْتَهَدَ يَمِينَهُ مَا فَعَلَ ، قَالُوا : كَذَبَ زَيْدٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي مِمَّا قَالُوا شِدَّةٌ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَصْدِيقِي فِي إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ سورة المنافقون آية 1 ، فَدَعَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ ، فَلَوَّوْا رُءُوسَهُمْ وَقَوْلُهُ خُشُبٌ مُسَنَّدَةٌ سورة المنافقون آية 4 ، قَالَ : " كَانُوا رِجَالًا أَجْمَلَ شَيْءٍ " .
Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: We went out with the Prophet : on a journey and the people suffered from lack of provisions. So `Abdullah bin Ubai said to his companions, "Don't spend on those who are with Allah's Messenger , that they may disperse and go away from him." He also said, "If we return to Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner. So I went to the Prophet and informed him of that. He sent for `Abdullah bin Ubai and asked him, but `Abdullah bin Ubai swore that he did not say so. The people said, "Zaid told a lie to 'Allah's Messenger ." What they said distressed me very much. Later Allah revealed the confirmation of my statement in his saying:-- '(When the hypocrites come to you.' (63.1) So the Prophet called them that they might ask Allah to forgive them, but they turned their heads aside. (Concerning Allah's saying: 'Pieces of wood propped up,' Zaid said; They were the most handsome men.)

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The chief of the hypocrites, Abdullah bin Ubayy—may Allah curse him—was a very robust, healthy, handsome, and eloquent man.
Many of his companions also possessed similar grandeur and splendor.
All of them were people of status in Madinah Tayyibah.
When they would come to the gathering of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), they would sit reclining against the walls and speak in a very polished and elaborate manner.
By looking at their faces and listening to their words, no one could even imagine that the dignitaries of the town could be so vile, lowly, and filthy in terms of character and morals as has been depicted in this surah and hadith.
➋
By likening them to pieces of wood, it has been indicated that these people are completely devoid of the spirit of good character, which is the true essence of humanity.
And Allah knows best.
