Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were six men with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The polytheists said, “Drive these people away from you; they will not dare to confront us.” Among those people were myself, Ibn Mas’ud, a man from Hudhail, Bilal, and two others whose names I do not mention. Whatever Allah willed came to your heart, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to himself inwardly. Then Allah revealed this verse: “Do not drive away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure.” (__QUR_6:52__)
