Hadith 5388
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّهُ " قَدِمَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ , عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَمِّرِ الْقَعْقَاعَ بْنَ مَعْبَدٍ , وَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : بَلْ أَمِّرِ الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ , فَتَمَارَيَا حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا , فَنَزَلَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ : يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ حَتَّى انْقَضَتِ الْآيَةُ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ سورة الحجرات آية 1 - 5 " .
´'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair narrated that:` A group from Banu Tamim came to the Prophet [SAW]. Abu Bakr said: "Appoint Al-Qa'qa' bin Ma'bad (as commander or governor)," and 'Umar said: "No, (appoint) Al-Aqra' bin Habis." They argued until they began to raise their voices, then the words were revealed: "O you who believe! Make not (a decision) in advance before Allah and His Messenger..." until the end of the Verse: "And if they had patience till you could come out to them, it would have been better for them."
