Hadith 6202
وَعَن سعد قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّةَ نَفَرٍ فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: اطرد هَؤُلَاءِ لَا يجترؤون عَلَيْنَا. قَالَ: وَكُنْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ وَبِلَالٌ وَرَجُلَانِ لَسْتُ أُسَمِّيهِمَا فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقَعَ فَحَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: [وَلَا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ] . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Sa'd said: When six of us were with the Prophet the polytheists said to him, "Drive these people away and let them not have the audacity to address us." I was present, also Ibn Mas'ud, a man of Hudhail, Bilal, and two men whose names I cannot remember. Then what God willed occurred to God's messenger's mind and he thought about it. God most high then sent down, "Do not drive away those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His face." Muslim transmitted it.
