The Prophet ﷺ rode a donkey having a saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet covering. He mounted me behind him and went to visit Saʿd bin 'Ubada, and that had been before the battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ proceeded till he passed by a gathering in which ʿAbdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that had been before ʿAbdullah embraced Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, i.e., isolators and Jews. ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha was also present in that gathering. When dust raised by the donkey covered the gathering, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his upper garment and said, "Do not trouble us with dust." The Prophet ﷺ greeted them, stopped and dismounted. Then he invited them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses of the Holy Qur'an. On that, ʿAbdullah bin Ubai said, "O man ! There is nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do not trouble us with it in our gathering, but return to your house, and if somebody comes to you, teach him there." On that ʿAbdullah bin Rawaha said, Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Bring your teachings to our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing each other till they were about to fight. The Prophet ﷺ kept on quietening them till they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet mounted his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Saʿd bin Ubada. He said to him "O Saʿd! Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) said?" Saʿd said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this town (Medina decided unanimously to crown him and make him their chief by placing a turban on his head, but when that was prevented by the Truth which Allah had given you he (ʿAbdullah bin Ubai) was grieved out of jealously, and that was the reason which caused him to behave in the way you have seen." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5663)
