[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to Uhud, and some people came back with him. Among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , there were two groups. One group said they should be killed, and the other group said they should not be killed. Ibn Ja'far spoke and said, "The people are in two groups. One group says they should be killed, and another group says they should not be killed." Then Bahz revealed the verses, "So what is [the matter] with you [that you are] in two groups concerning the hypocrites?" [Quran 4:88]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is good and it removes evil, just as fire removes impurity from silver." Affan narrated to us and said, "I heard Abdullah bin Yazid mention the meaning of the hadith of Bahz."  

أحمد:٢١٦٣٠حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَعَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَى أُحُدٍ فَرَجَعَ أُنَاسٌ خَرَجُوا مَعَهُ فَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ فِرْقتانِ فِرْقَةٌ تَقُولُ بِقَتْلِهِمْ وَفِرْقَةٌ تَقُولُ لَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ فِيهِمْ فِرْقَتَيْنِ فَرِيقًا يَقُولُونَ بِقَتْلِهِمْ وَفَرِيقًا يَقُولُونَ لَا قَالَ بَهْزٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ} [النساء 88] فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا طَيْبَةُ وَإِنَّهَا تَنْفِي الْخَبَثَ كَمَا تَنْفِي النَّارُ خَبَثَ الْفِضَّةِ حَدَّثَنَاهُ عَفَّانُ وَقَالَ فِيهِ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ بَهْزٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to Uhud, and some people went out with him. Among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were two groups, one group saying that they should be killed and another group saying no. So Allah ﷻ revealed, "What is [the matter] with you [that you are] divided concerning the hypocrites? Allah has cast them back [into disbelief] for what they have earned. Do you wish to guide those whom Allah has sent astray? And he whom Allah sends astray - for him you will never find a way [to guidance]." (Quran 4:88) So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, it is a good thing and it banishes evil just as fire banishes the impurity of silver."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَى أُحُدٍ فَرَجَعَ أُنَاسٌ خَرَجُوا مَعَهُ فَكَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهم فِرْقتان فِرْقَةٌ تَقُولُ بِقَتْلِهِمْ وَفِرْقَةٌ تَقُولُ لَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {فَمَا لَكُمْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ فِئَتَيْنِ} [النساء 88] فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا طَيْبَةُ وَإِنَّهَا تَنْفِي الْخَبَثَ كَمَا تَنْفِي النَّارُ خَبَثَالْفِضَّةِ

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to Uhud, some people came back with him. The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were divided into two groups. One group said, "Let us kill them," while the other group said, "No." Ibn Ja'far said, "It is better to spare them." So Allah revealed, "What is the matter with you concerning the hypocrites, when Allah has cast them back [to disbelief] for what they earned? Do you wish to guide those whom Allah has sent astray? And he whom Allah sends astray - never will you find for him a way [of guidance]" (Surah An-Nisa, 88). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is good and it repels evil just as fire repels the impurities of silver."
