Hadith 575
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), the uncle of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), was guarding him when this verse was revealed: “O Messenger! Convey what has been sent down to you from your Lord; and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allah will protect you from the people.” (Al-Ma'idah: 67) After the revelation of this verse, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) abandoned the practice of keeping a guard.
