Hadith 2413
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ : وَلا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ سورة الأنعام آية 52 ، قَالَ : " نَزَلَتْ فِي سِتَّةٍ أَنَا ، وَابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مِنْهُمْ ، وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ قَالُوا لَهُ تُدْنِي هَؤُلَاءِ " .
Sa'd reported: This verse was revealed in relation to six persons and I and Ibn Mas'ud were amongst them. The polytheists said to him (the Holy Prophet): Do not keep such persons near you. It was upon this that (this verse was revealed):" Drive not away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening desiring only His pleasure" (vi. 52).

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَسَدِيُّ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّةَ نَفَرٍ ، فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اطْرُدْ هَؤُلَاءِ لَا يَجْتَرِئُونَ عَلَيْنَا ، قَالَ : وَكُنْتُ أَنَا ، وَابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ ، وَبِلَالٌ ، وَرَجُلَانِ لَسْتُ أُسَمِّيهِمَا ، فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقَعَ فَحَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَلا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ سورة الأنعام آية 52 .
Sa'd reported: We were six men in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that the polytheists said to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) : Drive them away so that they may not be overbold upon us. He said: I, Ibn Mas'ud and a person from the tribe of Hudhail, Bilal (RA) and two other persons, whose names I do not know (were amongst such persons). And there occurred to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) what Allah wished and he talked with himself that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed:" Do not drive away those who call their Lord morning and evening desiring to seek His pleasure."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: This thought occurred in the heart of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), upon his own desire and in hope of their acceptance of faith, that when these leaders arrive, he might ask these (poor) companions to leave the gathering, so that it would become easier to spread Islam through these leaders, and as for those (poor companions), they could attend at another time. However, Allah Almighty did not approve of this, and thus the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was prevented from showing favor to the polytheists.
