this Āyah was revealed for these six folk on the day of Badr: (1) ʿAlī, (2) Ḥamzah, (3) ʿUbaydah, (4) Shaybah and (5) ʿUtbah, the two sons of Rabīʿah, and (6) Walīd b. ʿUtbah: "These are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord..." (Ḥajj 22:19) until the end of the statement of Allah, "... We will make him taste of a painful punishment." (Ḥajj 22:25).
لَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ السِّتَّةِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ عَلِيٌّ وَحَمْزَةُ وَعُبَيْدَةُ وَشَيْبَةُ وَعُتْبَةُ ابْنَا رَبِيعَةَ وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ {هَذَانِ خَصْمَانِ اخْتَصَمُوا فِي رَبِّهِمْ} [الحج 19] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ} [الحج 25]۔
