Sirat Ibn Hisham 453
[ مَوَاطِنُهُمْ وَمَا نَزَلَ فِيهِمْ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ] وَيُقَالُ: إنَّ النَّفَرَ مِنْ النَّصَارَى مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ، فَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَيَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ. فَيُقَالُ - وَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ - فِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْآيَاتُ الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ هُمْ بِهِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَإِذَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِهِ إِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِهِ مُسْلِمِينَ إلَى قَوْلِهِ لَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا نَبْتَغِي الْجَاهِلِينَ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَدْ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيَّ عَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْآيَاتِ فِيمَنْ أُنْزِلْنَ فَقَالَ لِي: مَا أَسْمَعُ مِنْ عُلَمَائِنَا أَنَّهُنَّ أُنْزِلْنَ فِي النَّجَاشِيِّ وَأَصْحَابِهِ. وَالْآيَةُ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْمَائِدَةِ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ: ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنْهُمْ قِسِّيسِينَ وَرُهْبَانًا وَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ إلَى قَوْلِهِ: فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
Translation
✧ [Their abodes and what was sent down in the Qur’an concerning them] And it is said: the band of Christians were from the people of Najrān — but God knows best which of that it was. It is said — and God knows best — concerning them were sent down these verses: “Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it — they believe in it; and when it is recited to them, they say, ‘We believe in it; it is the truth from our Lord; indeed we were Muslims before it’” up to His saying: “For us our deeds and for you your deeds; peace be upon you; we do not seek the ignorant.” Ibn Isḥāq said: I asked Ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī about these verses, concerning whom they were sent down, and he said to me: I do not hear from our scholars except that they were sent down concerning the Negus and his companions. And the verse of Sūrat al-Māʾidah, from His saying: “That is because among them are qissīsīn and monks, and they do not act arrogantly” up to His saying: “so write us down among the witnesses.”
