The Expedition of Banu al-Mustaliq (al-Muraysi')
[ اعْتِذَارُ ابْنِ أُبَيٍّ لِلرَّسُولِ ] وَقَدْ مَشَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، حِينَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ قَدْ بَلَّغَهُ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْهُ، فَحَلَفَ بِاَللَّهِ: مَا قُلْتُ مَا قَالَ، وَلَا تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ. - وَكَانَ فِي قَوْمِهِ شَرِيفًا عَظِيمًا -، فَقَالَ مَنْ حَضَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ الْغُلَامُ قَدْ أَوْهَمَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ، وَلَمْ يَحْفَظْ مَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ، حَدَبًا عَلَى ابْنِ أُبَيٍّ ابْنِ سَلُولَ، وَدَفْعًا عَنْهُ.
Translation
✧ [Ibn Ubayy's Apology to the Messenger] And ʿAbd Allāh b. Ubayy b. Salūl walked to the Messenger of God ﷺ, when it reached him that Zayd b. Arqam had conveyed to him what he heard from him, and he swore by God: I did not say what he said, nor did I speak it. — And he was a noble, great man among his people — and those of the Anṣār among his companions who were present with the Messenger of God ﷺ said: O Messenger of God, perhaps the boy imagined in his account, and did not memorize what the man said, out of affection for Ibn Ubayy b. Salūl, and in defense of him.
