ذِكْرُ تَسْمِيَةِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ صَفِّيَ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّنَيْبِيرَ وَالْمُنْبَتِرَ

[AI] "You are better than him, so it was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : '{Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off.}' and it was also revealed: '{Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, believing in superstition and false deities and say about the disbelievers, 'These are better guided than the believers as to the way.'}"

ابن حبّان:٦٥٧٢أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ مَكَّةَ أَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ أَهْلُ السِّقَايَةِ وَالسِّدَانَةِ وَأَنْتَ سَيِّدُ أَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ فَنَحْنُ خَيْرٌ أَمْ هَذَا الصُّنَيْبِيرُ الْمُنْبَتِرُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ

أَنْتُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «{إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ} وَنَزَلَتْ {أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا نَصِيبًا مِنَ الْكِتَابِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْجِبْتِ وَالطَّاغُوتِ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْدَى مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَبِيلًا} »

Collected by Qurʾān
quran:4:51

Do you not see how those given a share of the Scripture, [evidently] now believe in idols and evil powers? They say of the disbelievers, ‘They are more rightly guided than the believers.’

Alam tara ilal lazeena 'ootoo naseebam minal kitaabi yu'minoona bil-Jibti wat-Taaghooti wa-yaqooloona lillazeena kafaroo haaa-ulaaa'i ahdaa minal lazeena aamanoo sabeelaa

القرآن:٤:٥١

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ نَصِيبࣰا مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْجِبْتِ وَٱلطَّٰغُوتِ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَهْدَىٰ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ سَبِيلًا
