سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ قَالَ هُمْ قَوْمٌ وَحَّدُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ خَلَعُوا عِبَادَةَ مَنْ يُعْبَدُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَ شَهِدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ هُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ شُكَّاكٌ فِي بَعْضِ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَبِيَّهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنْ يَتَأَلَّفَهُمْ بِالْمَالِ وَ الْعَطَاءِ لِكَيْ يَحْسُنَ إِسْلَامُهُمْ وَ يَثْبُتُوا عَلَى دِينِهِمُ الَّذِي دَخَلُوا فِيهِ وَ أَقَرُّوا بِهِ وَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ تَأَلَّفَ رُؤَسَاءَ الْعَرَبِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَ سَائِرِ مُضَرَ مِنْهُمْ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ وَ أَشْبَاهُهُمْ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَغَضِبَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَ اجْتَمَعَتْ إِلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ تَأْذَنُ لِي فِي الْكَلَامِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَمْوَالِ الَّتِي قَسَمْتَ بَيْنَ قَوْمِكَ شَيْئاً أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ رَضِينَا وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ نَرْضَ قَالَ زُرَارَةُ وَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَ كُلُّكُمْ عَلَى قَوْلِ سَيِّدِكُمْ سَعْدٍ فَقَالُوا سَيِّدُنَا اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ قَالُوا فِي الثَّالِثَةِ نَحْنُ عَلَى مِثْلِ قَوْلِهِ وَ رَأْيِهِ قَالَ زُرَارَةُ فَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ فَحَطَّ اللَّهُ نُورَهُمْ وَ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لِلْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ سَهْماً فِي الْقُرْآنِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:9#h60"><a href="/books/quran:9#h60">[9:60]</a></a> and those whose hearts incline (to the Truth)</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They were a people professing to the Oneness of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, and they kept away from worshipping’s the ones besides Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and they testified that there is no god except for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and that Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> is Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, and there were doubtful regarding part of what Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> came with. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Commanded His<sup>azwj</sup> Prophet<sup>saww</sup> that he<sup>saww</sup> should be kind to them with the wealth and the gifts perhaps their Islam would improve and they would be affirmed upon their Religion which they had entered into and acknowledged with; and on the Day (battle) of Hunayn, Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> was kind to their chiefs of the Arabs from Qureysh and the rest of the (tribe of) Muzar. From them was Abu Sufyan Bin Harb, and Uyayna Bin Huswayn Al-Fazary and the likes of them from the people. So the Helpers (Ansaar) were angered and gathered to Sa’ad Bin Ubada. So he went with them to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> with Al-Ji’rana and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! Would you permit me regarding the speech?’ So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Yes’. So he said, ‘If this matter from this wealth was such which you<sup>saww</sup> have distributed between your<sup>saww</sup> people, a Revelation from Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, we are pleased, and if it was other than that, we are not pleased’. Zurara (the narrator) said, ‘And I heard Abu Ja’far<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> saying: ‘So Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> said: ‘O group of the Helpers! Are all of you upon the words of your chief Sa’ad?’. So they said, ‘Our chief is Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> and His<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Rasool<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>!’. Then they said during the third (reiteration), ‘We are upon the like of his words and his view’. Zurara (the narrator) said, ‘So I heard Abu Ja’far<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> saying: ‘So Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Diminished their light and Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Imposed a share to be for the ones of distored hearts, in the Quran’.
