In his (peace and blessings be upon him) presence I said things (in complaint) about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). It was our habit that when we sat with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we would not raise our eyes to look at him (peace and blessings be upon him) (out of respect). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Stop, O Buraydah!' I raised my head towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and saw that his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face had changed. When I saw this, I said: 'I seek refuge with Allah from the anger of Allah and the anger of the Messenger of Allah.'"

So they said: "O Messenger of Allah, we intend to gather something for you from our wealth." Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it except love for kinship." Then they went out disagreeing among themselves and saying: "Did you not see what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has said?" Some of them said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this only so that we would fight on behalf of his (peace and blessings be upon him) household and help them." So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed these verses, from: "Or do they say that he has invented a lie against Allah?" up to: "And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants." In this way Allah Almighty pointed them towards repentance, until He said: "And He responds to those who believe and do righteous deeds, and gives them more out of His bounty." This refers to those very people who had said that, (meaning) that they should repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness.
