Sirat Ibn Hisham 412
[ سَبَبُ نُزُولِ سُورَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ ] وَاعْتَرَضَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ - فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي - الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى، وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، وَأُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ، وَالْعَاصُ بْنُ وَائِلٍ السَّهْمِيُّ، وَكَانُوا ذَوِي أَسْنَانٍ فِي قَوْمِهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، هَلُمَّ فَلْنَعْبُدْ مَا تَعْبُدُ، وَتَعْبُدُ مَا نَعْبُدُ، فَنَشْتَرِكُ نَحْنُ وَأَنْتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ، فَإِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي تَعْبُدُ خَيْرًا مِمَّا نَعْبُدُ، كُنَّا قَدْ أَخَذْنَا بِحَظِّنَا مِنْهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مَا نَعْبُدُ خَيْرًا مِمَّا تَعْبُدُ، كُنْتَ قَدْ أَخَذْتَ بِحَظِّكَ مِنْهُ. فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِمْ: قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ لَا أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ وَلَا أَنْتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ وَلَا أَنَا عَابِدٌ مَا عَبَدْتُمْ وَلَا أَنْتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِينِ أَيْ إنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْبُدُونَ إلَّا اللَّهَ، إلَّا أَنْ أَعْبُدَ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ، فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ، لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ جَمِيعًا، وَلِي دِينِي
Translation
✧ [The reason for the revelation of the surah “Say: O disbelievers”] The Messenger of God ﷺ—while he was circumambulating the Kaaba, as has reached me—was intercepted by al-Aswad b. al-Muṭṭalib b. Asad b. ʿAbd al-ʿUzzā, al-Walīd b. al-Mughīrah, Umayyah b. Khalaf, and al-ʿĀṣ b. Wāʾil al-Sahmī, who were elders among their people. They said, “O Muḥammad, come, let us worship what you worship, and you worship what we worship, so that we and you share together in the matter. If what you worship is better than what we worship, we will have taken our share of it; and if what we worship is better than what you worship, you will have taken your share of it.” Then God, exalted be He, revealed concerning them: “Say: O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship, nor are you worshippers of what I worship, nor am I a worshipper of what you have worshipped, nor are you worshippers of what I worship. To you your religion, and to me my religion.” That is, if you do not worship except God, except that I worship what you worship, then I have no need of that from you. To you your religion entirely, and to me my religion.
