[ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ وَبَنُو الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَمَا نَزَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ إلَيْهِمْ بَعْدَ إسْلَامِهِمْ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا بِهِ رَكِبُوا إلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِهِمْ هَابَهُمْ، فَرَجَعَ إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ هَمُّوا بِقَتْلِهِ، وَمَنَعُوهُ مَا قِبَلَهُمْ مِنْ صَدْقِهِمْ، فَأَكْثَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي ذِكْرِ غَزْوِهِمْ، حَتَّى هَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَنْ يَغْزُوَهُمْ، فَبَيْنَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَدِمَ وَفْدُهُمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، سَمِعْنَا بِرَسُولِكَ حِينَ بَعَثْتَهُ إلَيْنَا، فَخَرَجْنَا إلَيْهِ لِنُكْرِمَهُ، وَنُؤَدِّيَ إلَيْهِ مَا قِبَلَنَا مِنْ الصَّدَقَةِ، فَانْشَمَرَ رَاجِعًا، فَبَلَغْنَا أَنَّهُ زَعَمَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّا خَرَجْنَا إلَيْهِ لِنَقْتُلَهُ، وَوَاللَّهِ مَا جِئْنَا لِذَلِكَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِ وَفِيهِمْ: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ يُطِيعُكُمْ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ لَعَنِتُّمْ إلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
Translation
✧ Al-Walīd b. ʿUqbah and Banū al-Muṣṭaliq, and what was revealed in the Qurʾān concerning that Ibn Isḥāq said: Yazīd b. Rūmān narrated to me: that after their acceptance of Islam, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to them al-Walīd b. ʿUqbah b. Abī Muʿayṭ. When they heard of him, they rode out to him. When he heard of them, he feared them and returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, informing him that the people had intended to kill him and had withheld from him the ṣadaqah (alms) that they owed. The Muslims spoke much about raiding them, until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ resolved to raid them. While they were in that state, their delegation came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, we heard of your messenger when you sent him to us, and we went out to him to honor him and to deliver to him the ṣadaqah that we owed. He turned back and returned. It reached us that he claimed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that we went out to him to kill him. By Allah, we did not come for that." Then Allah, exalted is He, sent down concerning him and concerning them: "O you who believe, if a wicked person comes to you with news, verify it, lest you harm a people in ignorance and become regretful over what you have done. And know that among you is the Messenger of Allah. If he were to obey you in much of the matter, you would suffer hardship," to the end of the verse.
