أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا قَدِمَ كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ مَكَّةَ أَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ أَهْلُ السِّقَايَةِ وَالسِّدَانَةِ وَأَنْتَ سَيِّدُ أَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ فَنَحْنُ خَيْرٌ أَمْ هَذَا الصُّنَيْبِيرُ الْمُنْبَتِرُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ أَنْتُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «{إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ} وَنَزَلَتْ {أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا نَصِيبًا مِنَ الْكِتَابِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْجِبْتِ وَالطَّاغُوتِ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْدَى مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَبِيلًا} »

✧ When Ka'b b. al-Ashraf came to Makkah, they came to him and said, 'We are the people of the watering and the custodianship of the Ka'bah, and you are the master of the people of Yathrib. Are we better or this little contemptible one, cut off from his people, who claims that he is better than us?' He said, 'You are better than him.' Then it was revealed regarding the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off' (Qur'an 108:3), and it was revealed: 'Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, believing in jibt and taghut and saying to those who disbelieve, "These are better guided than those who believe as to the way"?' (Qur'an 4:51).
