حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ لَمَّا خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى أُحُدٍ رَجَعَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَتْ فِرْقَةٌ نَقْتُلُهُمْ‏.‏ وَقَالَتْ فِرْقَةٌ لاَ نَقْتُلُهُمْ‏.‏ فَنَزَلَتْ ‏{‏فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينِ فِئَتَيْنِ‏}‏ وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّهَا تَنْفِي الرِّجَالَ كَمَا تَنْفِي النَّارُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:When the Prophet (ﷺ) went out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of his companions (hypocrites) returned (home). A party of the believers remarked that they would kill those (hypocrites) who had returned, but another party said that they would not kill them. So, this Divine Inspiration was revealed: "Then what is the matter with you that you are divided into two parties concerning the hypocrites." (4.88) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Medina expels the bad persons from it, as fire expels the impurities of iron

Zaid bin Thabit (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Jab Nabi Uhud (ki jung) ke liye nikle, unke kuch sahaba (munafiq) wapas laut aaye. Momino ke ek giroh ne kaha ke woh (munafiqon) ko jinhone waapsi ki, qatl karenge, magar doosre giroh ne kaha ke woh unhe qatl nahi karenge. Isliye yeh wahi nazil hui: "Phir tumhe kya hua ke munafiqon ke baare mein tum do giroh mein baT gaye" (4:88). Nabi ne farmaya: "Madina bure logon ko isse nikaal deta hai jaise aag lohe ki gandi cheezein nikaal deti hai."
