[Machine] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delivering a sermon on Friday, a caravan carrying food came. They stopped at al-Baqi' and the people turned towards it and dispersed towards it, leaving the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with only forty men, of whom I was one. Allah then revealed the verse to the Prophet ﷺ : "And when they saw some merchandise or some amusement, they rushed to it and left you standing." (Surah Al-Jumu'ah, 11) Ali said: In this chain of narration, no one narrated this except for forty men besides Ali ibn Asim, who was narrating from Husayn. However, the companions of Husayn disagreed with him and said, "There were only twelve men left with the Prophet ﷺ ." The sheikh said the most similar narration is that which is narrated by whoever narrated that it was during the sermon, and the statement of the one who said, "We intended to pray Jumu'ah with him" meant the sermon, as if he expressed the sermon through prayer. The hadith of Ka'b ibn 'Ujra also indicates this, and that is what Allah wills, if He wills.  

بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُنَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَتْ عِيرٌ تَحْمِلُ الطَّعَامَ حَتَّى نَزَلُوا بِالْبَقِيعِ فَالْتَفَتُوا إِلَيْهَا وَانْفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلَّا أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا أَنَا فِيهِمْ قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا} [الجمعة 11] قَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَمْ يَقُلْ فِي هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ إِلَّا أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا غَيْرُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ وَخَالَفَهُ أَصْحَابُ حُصَيْنٍ فَقَالُوا لَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَّا اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَالْأَشْبَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الصَّحِيحُ رِوَايَةَ مَنْ رَوَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ وَقَوْلُ مَنْ قَالَ نُصَلِّي مَعَهُ الْجُمُعَةَ أَرَادَ بِهِ الْخُطْبَةَ وَكَأَنَّهُ عَبَّرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَنِ الْخُطْبَةِ وَحَدِيثُ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ يَدُلُّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا وَذَلِكَ يَرِدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى
