[Machine] "Some Arab people came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Medina and embraced Islam. Then they were afflicted with a plague in Medina, so they became infected and spread the disease. Thus, they left the city and some of the Companions, meaning the Prophet's companions, confronted them and asked them why they had returned. They replied, 'We were struck by the plague in Medina, so we fled from the city.' The companions asked them, 'What about your role model, the Messenger of Allah?' Some of them said they were hypocrites, while others said they were true believers. So Allah revealed the verse, 'What is [the matter] with you [that you are] two groups concerning the hypocrites, while Allah has made them fall back [into error and disbelief] for what they earned?' (Quran 4:88)"  

أحمد:١٦٦٧حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ

أَنَّ قَوْمًا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَسْلَمُوا وَأَصَابَهُمْ وَبَاءُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حُمَّاهَا فَأُرْكِسُوا فَخَرَجُوا مِنَالْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَعْنِي أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا لَهُمْ مَا لَكُمْ رَجَعْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا أَصَابَنَا وَبَاءُ الْمَدِينَةِ فَاجْتَوَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَالُوا أَمَا لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ أُسْوَةٌ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ نَافَقُوا وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَمْ يُنَافِقُوا هُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ وَاللهُ أَرْكَسَهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوا} الْآيَةَ [النساء 88]
