Refusing Help from Polytheists

SUMMARY: The Prophet refused help from a polytheist.

A’ishah said (this is the version of narrator Yahya). A man from the polytheists accompanied the Prophet to fight along with him. He said "Go back. Both the narrators (Musaddad and Yahya) then agreed. The Prophet said "We do not want any help from a polytheist".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نِيَارٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَ يَحْيَى أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لَحِقَ بِالنَّبِيِّ لِيُقَاتِلَ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ارْجِعْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّا لاَ نَسْتَعِينُ بِمُشْرِكٍ
