حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذْ أَقْبَلَتْ عِيرٌ تَحْمِلُ طَعَامًا، فَالْتَفَتُوا إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى مَا بَقِيَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلاً، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا‏}‏

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:While we were praying (Jumua Khutba & prayer) with the Prophet (ﷺ), some camels loaded with food, arrived (from Sham). The people diverted their attention towards the camels (and left the mosque), and only twelve persons remained with the Prophet. So this verse was revealed: "But when they see Some bargain or some amusement, They disperse headlong to it, And leave you standing

Jabir bin Abdullah (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Jab hum Nabi ke saath (Jumme ki) namaz padh rahe the, khane se laade huye kuch oont (Sham se) aaye. Logon ka dhyan un oonton ki taraf gaya (aur woh masjid chhod kar chale gaye), sirf barah log Nabi ke saath rah gaye. Isi waqt yeh ayat nazil hui: "Magar jab woh koi tijarat ya khel-tamasha dekhte hain, foran usi ki taraf bhaag jaate hain, aur tumhe khada chhod dete hain."
