Bayhaqi 18267 — Polytheists who accept Islam before capture

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، أنبأ إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ غَنَمٌ لَهُ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: مَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا لِيَتَعَوَّذَ مِنْكُمْ، فَعَمَدُوا إِلَيْهِ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا غَنَمَهُ، فَأَتَوْا بِهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوا وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا} [النساء: ٩٤] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {كَذَلِكَ كُنْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنُوا} [النساء: ٩٤].
Ikrimah narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): A man of Banu Sulaym passed by a group of the Companions, and he had his sheep with him. He greeted them with salam. The Companions said: "He only greeted you with salam to protect himself." They seized him, killed him and took his sheep as well. They brought it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "O you who believe, when you go forth in the way of Allah, investigate carefully, and do not say to one who greets you with peace, 'You are not a believer,' seeking the goods of the worldly life; for with Allah are abundant spoils. You yourselves were like that before, then Allah conferred His favour upon you, so investigate carefully." [Surah al-Nisa: 94]
