The Jews' incitement of Quraysh and what was revealed concerning them
[ تَحْرِيضُ الْيَهُودِ لِقُرَيْشِ وَمَا نَزَلَ فِيهِمْ ] فَحَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ مَوْلَى آلِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَمَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ، وَالزُّهْرِيِّ، وَعَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَغَيْرِهِمْ مِنْ عُلَمَائِنَا، كُلُّهُمْ قَدْ اجْتَمَعَ حَدِيثُهُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ الْخَنْدَقِ، وَبَعْضُهُمْ يُحَدِّثُ مَا لَا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ بَعْضٌ، قَالُوا: إنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْخَنْدَقِ أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ الْيَهُودِ، مِنْهُمْ: سَلَّامُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحَقِيقِ النَّضْرِيُّ، وَحُيَيُّ بْنُ أَخْطَبَ النَّضْرِيُّ، وَكِنَانَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحَقِيقِ النَّضْرِيُّ، وَهَوْذَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْوَائِلِيُّ، وَأَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْوَائِلِيُّ، فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ، وَنَفَرٍ مِنْ بَنِي وَائِلٍ، وَهُمْ الَّذِينَ حَزَّبُوا الْأَحْزَابَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، خَرَجُوا حَتَّى قَدِمُوا عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ مَكَّةَ، فَدَعَوْهُمْ إلَى حَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَقَالُوا: إنَّا سَنَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ عَلَيْهِ، حَتَّى نَسْتَأْصِلَهُ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُمْ قُرَيْشٌ: يَا مَعْشَرَ يَهُودَ، إنَّكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ الْأَوَّلِ وَالْعِلْمِ بِمَا أَصْبَحْنَا نَخْتَلِفُ فِيهِ نَحْنُ وَمُحَمَّدٌ، أَفَدِينُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ دِينُهُ ؟ قَالُوا: بَلْ دِينُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ دِينِهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ أَوْلَى بِالْحَقِّ ( مِنْهُ ). فَهُمْ الَّذِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِمْ: أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا نَصِيبًا مِنَ الْكِتَابِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْجِبْتِ وَالطَّاغُوتِ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْدَى مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَبِيلًا أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ يَلْعَنِ اللَّهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ نَصِيرًا إلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ أَيْ النُّبُوَّةَ فَقَدْ آتَيْنَا آلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ مُلْكًا عَظِيمًا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ صَدَّ عَنْهُ وَكَفَى بِجَهَنَّمَ سَعِيرًا
Translation
✧ [The Jews’ incitement of Quraysh and what was revealed concerning them] Yazīd b. Rūmān, the mawlā of the family of al-Zubayr b. ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr, and those whom I do not suspect, narrated to me from ʿAbd Allāh b. Kaʿb b. Mālik, Muḥammad b. Kaʿb al-Quraẓī, al-Zuhrī, ʿĀṣim b. ʿUmar b. Qatādah, ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Bakr, and others among our scholars—all of their narratives have come together in the account of the Khandaq, while some of them relate what others do not. They said: It was part of the account of the Khandaq that a group of Jews, among them Sallām b. Abī al-Ḥuqayq al-Naḍrī, Ḥuyayy b. Akhṭab al-Naḍrī, Kinānah b. Abī al-Ḥuqayq al-Naḍrī, Hawdhah b. Qays al-Wāʾilī, and Abū ʿAmmār al-Wāʾilī, along with a group from Banū al-Naḍīr and a group from Banū Wāʾil—these were the ones who formed the confederates against the Messenger of God ﷺ—went out until they came to Quraysh in Makkah and summoned them to war against the Messenger of God ﷺ, saying, “We shall be with you against him until we uproot him utterly.” Quraysh said to them, “O company of Jews, you are the people of the first Scripture and of knowledge concerning what we and Muḥammad have come to differ about: is our religion better or his religion?” They said, “Rather, your religion is better than his religion, and you are more entitled to the truth than he.” It was concerning them that God, may He be exalted, sent down: “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 better guided on the way than those who believe’? Those are the ones whom God has cursed; and he whom God curses, you will never find for him any helper,” up to His saying, may He be exalted: “Or do they envy the people for what God has given them of His bounty?”—that is, prophethood—“For We gave the family of Ibrāhīm the Scripture and wisdom, and We gave them a mighty kingdom. And among them were those who believed in it, and among them were those who turned away from it; and sufficient is Jahannam as a blazing fire.”
