أَوَّلُ مُسْنَدِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
Beginning of the Musnad of Ibn Abbas
Musnad Abi Ya'la 2651 — he said: This verse, 'It is not for a prophet
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خُصَيْفٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مِقْسَمٌ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ} [آل عمران: 161] فِي قَطِيفَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ فُقِدَتْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ: لَعَلَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخَذَهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عز وجل {وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ وَمَنْ يَغْلُلْ يَأْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ} [آل عمران: 161] "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "This verse, 'It is not for a prophet to act dishonestly,' was revealed concerning a red velvet cloak that went missing on the day of the Battle of Badr. Some people said (by way of conjecture) that perhaps the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had taken it, so Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this: 'It is not for any prophet to act dishonestly, and whoever acts dishonestly will come with what he took dishonestly on the Day of Resurrection.'"
