[Machine] That the tribes of Riʿl, Waʿsaya, Dhakwan, and Banī Lahyan came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him that they had embraced Islam and sought his support against their people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ provided them with seventy of the Ansar, whom we used to call "Qurra" (reciters) during their time. They used to gather provisions during the day and pray at night. When they reached the well of Maʿunah, they were betrayed and killed. The Prophet ﷺ then observed a month praying against the tribes of ʿUsayyah, Riʿl, Dhakwan, and Banī Lahyan, and Anas informed us that we recited the verse concerning them. Inform our people that we have met our Lord and He was pleased with us and we were pleased with Him. Then these verses were abrogated or lifted.

The people of the tribes of Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usiya and Bani Lihyan came to the Prophet ﷺ and claimed that they had embraced Islam, and they requested him to support them with some men to fight their own people. The Prophet ﷺ supported them with seventy men from the Ansar whom we used to call Al-Qurra'(i.e. Scholars) who (out of piety) used to cut wood during the day and pray all the night. So, those people took the (seventy) men till they reached a place called Bi'r-Ma'ana where they betrayed and martyred them. So, the Prophet ﷺ invoked evil on the tribe of Ril, Dhakwan and Bani Lihyan for one month in the prayer. Narrated Qatada: Anas told us that they (i.e. Muslims) used to recite a Quranic Verse concerning those martyrs which was:-- "O Allah! Let our people be informed on our behalf that we have met our Lord Who has got pleased with us and made us pleased." Then the Verse was cancelled.

(The tribes of) Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Lihyan asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ to provide them with some men to support them against their enemy. He therefore provided them with seventy men from the Ansar whom we used to call Al-Qurra' in their lifetime. They used to collect wood by daytime and pray at night. When they were at the well of Ma'una, the infidels killed them by betraying them. When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ , he said Al-Qunut for one month In the morning prayer, invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes, upon Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Libyan. We used to read a verse of the Qur'an revealed in their connection, but later the verse was cancelled. It was: "convey to our people on our behalf the information that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us, and has made us pleased." (Anas bin Malik added:) Allah's Prophet said Qunut for one month in the morning prayer, invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes (namely), Ril, Dhakwan, Usaiya, and Bani Libyan. (Anas added:) Those seventy Ansari men were killed at the well of Mauna.

[Machine] That the Prophet of Allah ﷺ was visited by R'il, Dathwan, 'Usayyah, and the sons of Lihyan. They claimed that they had embraced Islam and requested support from their people. So the Prophet of Allah ﷺ sent seventy of the Ansar with them on that day. Anas said, "We used to call them 'al-Qura'a' during their time. They would gather fuel during the day and pray at night." They set off with them until they reached the well of Ma'unah, where they were betrayed and killed. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed mourning for a month during the Fajr prayer, calling for punishment upon these people: R'il, Dathwan, 'Usayyah, and the sons of Lihyan." Qatadah said, "Anas narrated to us that they recited the Qur'an with them." Ibn Ja'far said in his narration, "We recited the Qur'an with them. Inform our people that we have met our Lord and He is pleased with us and has accepted us." Then that was revoked or lifted, according to Ibn Ja'far.
