[Machine] When the hardship intensified upon the Prophet ﷺ and his companions, he mentioned this story similar to the statement of Musa ibn Uqbah, except that he said at the end, "And some men among them said, 'O people of Yathrib, you have no place here, so return.'" Al-Shafi'i said, "Then he waged war against Banu Mustaliq, and a number of them witnessed it with him. They spoke with what Allah narrated of their statement, 'If we return to Al-Madinah, the more honorable will expel the more humble from it.'" [Al-Munafiqoon 8] And other than that, from what Allah narrated of their hypocrisy.
فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّ الْبَلَاءُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَذَكَرَ هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي آخِرِهَا وَقَالَ رِجَالٌ مِنْهُمْ يُخَذِّلُونَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مُقَامَ لَكُمْ فَارْجِعُوا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ ثُمَّ غَزَا بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَشَهِدَهَا مَعَهُ مِنْهُمْ عَدَدٌ فَتَكَلَّمُوا بِمَا حَكَى اللهُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمْ {لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الْأَذَلَّ} [المنافقون 8] وَغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا حَكَى اللهُ مِنْ نِفَاقِهِمْ
