Allah's sufficing His Prophet ﷺ against the mockers
نُزُولُ وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ [ مَقَالَةُ الْوَلِيدِ وَصَحْبِهِ، وَنُزُولُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَمَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ - فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي - بِالْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ، وَبِأَبِي جَهْلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ فَهَمَزُوهُ وَاسْتَهْزَءُوا بِهِ فَغَاظَهُ ذَلِكَ. فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ: وَلَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِالَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا مِنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ قَالَ الْجُمْهُورُ وَمِنْهُمُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فِي أَكْثَرِ الرِّوَايَاتِ عَنْهُ: كَانُوا -المستهزؤون- خَمْسَةً. وَقَالَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ: كَانُوا ثَمَانِيَةً وَصَحَّحَهُ فِي الْغُرَرِ وَجَزَمَ بِهِ أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْعِرَاقِيُّ فِي الدُّرَرِ. كِفَايَةُ اللَّهِ أَمْرَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَأَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا، مُؤَدِّيًا إلَى قَوْمِهِ النَّصِيحَةَ عَلَى مَا يَلْقَى مِنْهُمْ مِنْ التَّكْذِيبِ وَالْأَذَى ( وَالِاسْتِهْزَاءِ ). وَكَانَ عُظَمَاءُ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ، كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ خَمْسَةَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِمْ وَكَانُوا ذَوِي أَسْنَانٍ وَشَرَفٍ فِي قَوْمِهِمْ. [ الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِالرَّسُولِ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ ] مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى بْنِ قُصَيِّ بْنِ كِلَابٍ: الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَسَدِ أَبُو زَمَعَةَ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ - فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي - قَدْ دَعَا عَلَيْهِ لِمَا كَانَ يَبْلُغُهُ مِنْ أَذَاهُ وَاسْتِهْزَائِهِ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَعْمِ بَصَرَهُ، وَأَثْكِلْهُ وَلَدَهُ. [ الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِالرَّسُولِ مِنْ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ ] وَمِنْ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ بْنِ كِلَابٍ: الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ بْنِ وَهْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ. [ الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِالرَّسُولِ مِنْ مَخْزُومٍ ] وَمِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومِ بْنِ يَقَظَةَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ: الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَخْزُومٍ. [ الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِالرَّسُولِ مِنْ سَهْمٍ ] وَمِنْ بَنِي سَهْمِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ هُصَيْصِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ: الْعَاصُ بْنُ وَائِلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: الْعَاصُ بْنُ وَائِلِ بْنِ هِشَامِ بْنِ سُعَيْدِ بْنِ سَهْمٍ. [ الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِالرَّسُولِ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ ] وَمِنْ بَنِي خُزَاعَةَ: الْحَارِثُ بْنُ الطُّلَاطِلَةِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ عَمْرِو بْنِ ( لُؤَيِّ بْنِ ) مَلَكَانَ فَلَمَّا تَمَادَوْا فِي الشَّرِّ، وَأَكْثَرُوا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الِاسْتِهْزَاءَ، أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ.
Translation
✧ The revelation of “Messengers before you were mocked” [The statement of al-Walīd and his companions, and the revelation of this verse] Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ—according to what reached me—passed by al-Walīd b. al-Mughīrah, Umayyah b. Khalaf, and Abū Jahl b. Hishām. They winked at him and mocked him, and that angered him. So Allah, exalted is He, revealed to him concerning that matter of theirs: “Messengers before you were mocked, but those who scoffed at them were overtaken by what they used to mock” [Qur’ān 6:10]. The majority—including Ibn ʿAbbās in most of the reports from him—said: They—the mockers—were five. In one report he said: They were eight, and this was deemed sound in al-Ghurar and affirmed by Abū ʿAmr al-ʿIrāqī in al-Durar. Allah’s sufficing the affair of the mockers Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained steadfast in the affair of Allah, exalted is He, patiently and seeking reward, conveying sincere counsel to his people despite the denial, harm, and mockery he met from them. The chief mockers, as Yazīd b. Rūmān narrated to me from ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr, were five men from their people, and they were men of age and honor among their people. [The mockers of the Messenger from Banū Asad] From Banū Asad b. ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā b. Quṣayy b. Kilāb: al-Aswad b. al-Muṭṭalib b. Asad, Abū Zamʿah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ—according to what reached me—had supplicated against him because of the harm and mockery that reached him from him, saying: “O Allah, blind his sight and bereave him of his son.” [The mockers of the Messenger from Banū Zuhrah] From Banū Zuhrah b. Kilāb: al-Aswad b. ʿAbd Yaghūth b. Wahb b. ʿAbd Manāf b. Zuhrah. [The mockers of the Messenger from Makhzūm] From Banū Makhzūm b. Yaqaẓah b. Murrah: al-Walīd b. al-Mughīrah b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. Makhzūm. [The mockers of the Messenger from Sahm] From Banū Sahm b. ʿAmr b. Huṣayṣ b. Kaʿb: al-ʿĀṣ b. Wā’il b. Hishām. Ibn Hishām said: al-ʿĀṣ b. Wā’il b. Hishām b. Suʿayd b. Sahm. [The mockers of the Messenger from Khuzāʿah] From Banū Khuzāʿah: al-Ḥārith b. al-Ṭulāṭilah b. ʿAmr b. al-Ḥārith b. ʿAbd ʿAmr b. (Lu’ayy b.) Malkān. When they persisted in evil and multiplied their mockery of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Allah, exalted is He, revealed to him: “So proclaim what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists. Indeed, We suffice you against the mockers, those who set up another god with Allah; soon they will know” [Qur’ān 15:94–96].
