ذِكْرُ السَّبَبِ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ، أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ}
[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever goes to such and such a place or does such and such a thing, the young men would rush to it while the elders remain under the flags." So when Allah granted them victory, they came seeking what the Prophet ﷺ had designated for them. The elders said to them, "Do not take it before us, for we were your substitute." Then Allah revealed this verse to them: "So fear Allah and amend that which is between you."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَتَى مَكَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا أَوْ فَعَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا * فَتَسَارَعَ إِلَيْهِ الشُّبَّانُ وَبَقِيَ الشُّيُوخُ تَحْتَ الرَّايَاتِ» فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ جَاءُوا يَطْلُبُونَ مَا قَدْ جَعَلَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الْأَشْيَاخُ لَا تَذْهَبُونَ بِهِ دُونَنَا فَإِنَّا كُنَّا رِدْءًا لَكُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ}
