It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "It was said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): 'If only you would go to Abdullah bin Ubayy!' So he (peace and blessings be upon him) rode his donkey and set off towards him, and a group of his Companions went with him. When they reached him, Abdullah bin Ubayy said: 'Keep away from me, for the stench of your donkey has offended me.' At this a man from among the Muslims said: 'By Allah! The smell of the donkey of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is far purer than yours!' Then a man from Abdullah's people became angry on his behalf, and a man from among them (the Companions) also became angry for his own people, and there was fighting between them with palm branches and sandals. So it reached us that this blessed verse was revealed about them: 'And if two groups of the believers fight each other, then make peace between them.'"
