[Machine] "From His saying, 'Say: I do not ask you for any payment for it except love for [my] relatives' [Surah Al-Shura 23]. Sa'id bin Jubayr said: the relatives of Muhammad ﷺ are the people of Quraish. Ibn Abbas said: you have hastened, indeed there was not a single abdomen among the Quraish except that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a relative in it, so the verse was revealed, 'Say: I do not ask you for any payment for it except love for [my] relatives' [Surah Al-Shura 23], except to maintain [good] relations with the kindred between you and me."  

أحمد:٢٠٢٤ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ شُعْبَةَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ قَالَ أَتَى ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَنْبَأَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ طَاوُسًا يَقُولُ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ الْمَعْنَى

عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى} [الشورى 23] فَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ قَرَابَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَجِلْتَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَطْنٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ قَرَابَةٌ فَنَزَلَتْ {قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى} [الشورى 23] إِلا أَنْ تَصِلُوا قَرَابَةَ مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ
