[ النَّفَرُ الَّذِينَ حَزَّبُوا الْأَحْزَابَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ الَّذِينَ حَزَّبُوا الْأَحْزَابَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَغَطَفَانَ وَبَنْي قُرَيْظَةَ: حُيَيُّ بْنُ أَخْطَبَ، وَسِلَامُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ، أَبُو رَافِعٍ، وَالرَّبِيعُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ، وَأَبُو عَمَّارٍ، وَوَحْوَحُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، وَهَوْذَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ. فَأَمَّا وَحْوَحُ، وَأَبُو عَمَّارٍ، وَهَوْذَةُ، فَمِنْ بَنِي وَائِلٍ، وَكَانَ سَائِرُهُمْ مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ. فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ قَالُوا: هَؤُلَاءِ أَحْبَارُ يَهُودَ، وَأَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ بِالْكِتَابِ الْأَوَّلِ، فَسَلُوهُمْ: دِينُكُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ دِينُ مُحَمَّدٍ ؟ فَسَأَلُوهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: بَلْ دِينُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ دِينِهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ أَهْدَى مِنْهُ وَمِمَّنْ اتَّبَعَهُ. فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِمْ: أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا نَصِيبًا مِنَ الْكِتَابِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْجِبْتِ وَالطَّاغُوتِ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْدَى مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَبِيلًا قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: إلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَقَدْ آتَيْنَا آلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ مُلْكًا عَظِيمًا
Translation
✧ [The group that formed the confederates] Ibn Isḥāq said: Those who formed the confederates from Quraysh, Ghaṭafān, and Banū Qurayẓah were: Ḥuyayy b. Akhṭab, Sallām b. Abī al-Ḥuqayq, Abū Rāfiʿ, al-Rabīʿ b. al-Rabīʿ b. Abī al-Ḥuqayq, Abū ʿAmmār, Waḥwaḥ b. ʿĀmir, and Hawdhah b. Qays. As for Waḥwaḥ, Abū ʿAmmār, and Hawdhah, they were from Banū Wāʾil, while the rest of them were from Banū al-Naḍīr. When they came to Quraysh, they said: 'These are the rabbis of the Jews and the people of knowledge of the earlier scripture, so ask them: Is your religion better or the religion of Muḥammad?' They asked them, and they said: 'Rather, your religion is better than his religion, and you are more rightly guided than him and than those who follow him.' Then God, exalted is He, revealed concerning them: 'Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the scripture, believing in al-jibt and al-ṭāghūt, and saying to those who disbelieve, "These are more rightly guided than those who believe as to the way"?' Ibn Isḥāq said: up to His saying, exalted is He: 'Or do they envy people for what God has given them of His bounty? For We gave the family of Abraham the scripture and wisdom, and We gave them a great kingdom.'
