ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَلِيُّ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ، وَبَنِي حَارِثَةَ

[Machine] "That they both fail (to find protection), by Allah, their guardian (protectors) are Banu Salimah and Banu Harithah." Amr said, Jabir said, "And I would not like it if it did not descend (reveal) for (the word of) Allah, 'And Allah is their guardian (protector).'"  

ابن حبّان:٧٢٨٨أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ بِطَرَسُوسَ حَدَّثَنَا حَامِدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْبَلْخِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ «فِينَا نَزَلَتْ {إِذْ هَمَّتْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنْكُمْ

أَنْ تَفْشَلَا وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا} بَنُو سَلِمَةَ وَبَنُو حَارِثَةَ» قَالَ عَمْرٌو قَالَ جَابِرٌ «وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَنْزِلْ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ {وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا} »

This Verse: "When two of your parties almost Decided to fall away..." was revealed in our connection, i.e. Bani Salama and Bani Haritha and I would not have liked that, if it was not revealed, for Allah said:-- But Allah was their Protector.....(3.122)  

البخاري:٤٠٥١حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ

نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِينَا {إِذْ هَمَّتْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْشَلاَ} بَنِي سَلِمَةَ وَبَنِي حَارِثَةَ وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَنْزِلْ وَاللَّهُ يَقُولُ {وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا}

The Verse:--"When two parties from among you were about to lose heart, but Allah was their Protector," (3.122) was revealed concerning us, and we were the two parties, i.e. Banu Haritha and Banu Salama, and we do not wish (that it had not been revealed) or I would not have been pleased (if it had not been revealed), for Allah says:--"...Allah was their Protector."  

البخاري:٤٥٥٨حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ قَالَ عَمْرٌو سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّه ِ ؓ يَقُولُ فِينَا نَزَلَتْ {إِذْ هَمَّتْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْشَلاَ وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا} قَالَ

نَحْنُ الطَّائِفَتَانِ بَنُو حَارِثَةَ وَبَنُو سَلِمَةَ وَمَا نُحِبُّ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً وَمَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّهَا لَمْ تُنْزَلْ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ {وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا}

Jabir b. Abdullah reported that it was concerning them (the Ansar) that this verse was revealed, that when the two groups amongst you were about to lose heart and Allah was the Guardian of them both. This concerned Banu Salama and Banu Haritha and we did not like that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, should not have revealed this verse for the fact that Allah (gave an assurance) of being the Guardian of both.

فِينَا نَزَلَتْ { إِذْ هَمَّتْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْشَلاَ وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا} بَنُو سَلِمَةَ وَبَنُو حَارِثَةَ وَمَا نُحِبُّ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَنْزِلْ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ { وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّهُمَا}
