حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْإِصْطَخْرِيُّ ، نَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ الْكَلْبِيُّ ، نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الدَّهَّانُ ، ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ الْقُمِّيُّ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ أَرْبَعِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّجَاشِيِّ قَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشَهِدُوا مَعَهُ أُحُدًا ، وَكَانَتْ فِيهِمْ جِرَاحَاتٌ ، وَلَمْ يُقْتَلْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا مَا بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الْحَاجَةِ قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّا أَهْلُ مَيْسَرَةٍ ، فَائْذَنْ لَنَا نَجِيءُ بِأَمْوَالِنَا نُواسِي بِهَا الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِمُ : الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ هُمْ بِهِ يُؤْمِنُونَ الْآيَةَ أُولَئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ بِمَا صَبَرُوا ، فَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ أَجْرَيْنِ I " قَالَ : وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ قَالَ : I " تِلْكَ النَّفَقَةُ الَّتِي وَاسَوْا بِهَا الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ I " .
قَالَ : I " فَفَخِرَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، أَمَّا مَنْ آمَنَ مِنَّا بِكِتَابِكُمْ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِكِتَابِكُمْ فَلَهُ أَجْرٌ كَأُجُورِكُمْ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَآمِنُوا بِرَسُولِهِ يُؤْتِكُمْ كِفْلَيْنِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ نُورًا تَمْشُونَ بِهِ فَزَادَهُمُ النُّورَ وَالْمَغْفِرَةَ I " وَقَالَ : لِئَلا يَعْلَمَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ أَلا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللهِ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ إِلَّا يَعْقُوبُ الْقُمِّيُّ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ I " .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that forty of the companions of the Negus (al-Najashi) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and took part with him (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Battle of Uhud. Several of them were wounded, but none of them was killed. When they saw the hardship of the Muslims, they said: "O Messenger of Allah! We are people of means; permit us to bring our wealth and support the Muslims with it." So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse concerning them: (Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it, they believe in it) (to the end of the verse), (Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured); and so Allah appointed a double reward for them. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: (And they repel evil with good) refers to the spending with which they supported the Muslims, until this verse was revealed.
He said: "Then the People of the Scripture began to boast over the Muslims, until this verse was revealed. They said: O community of Muslims! Whoever of us believes in your Book has two rewards, and whoever does not believe in your Book has one reward like your rewards. So Allah Almighty revealed: (O you who believe, fear Allah and believe in His Messenger; He will give you a double portion of His mercy and make for you a light by which you will walk). And so Allah increased them (the Muslims) in light and forgiveness as well." And He said: (So that the People of the Scripture may know that they have no power over anything of the bounty of Allah).
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ja'far bin Abi al-Mughirah except Ya'qub al-Qummi, and Ali bin Thabit is alone in it."
