Revelation of Quranic Verse in Response to Statement

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the revelation of a Quranic verse in response to a statement made by Abdullah bin Ubai.

Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: When 'Abdullah bin Ubai said, "Do not spend on those who are with Allah's Messenger ," and also said, "If we return to Medina," I informed the Prophet of his saying. The Ansar blamed me for that, and 'Abdullah bin Ubai swore that he did not say. I returned to my house and slept. Allah's Messenger then called me and I went to him. He said, "Allah has confirmed your statement". The Verse: "They are the one who say: Spend nothing.(63:7) was revealed.
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيَّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ لاَ تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَيْضًا لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ‏.‏ أَخْبَرْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ فَلاَمَنِي الأَنْصَارُ، وَحَلَفَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ مَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ فَنِمْتُ فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ صَدَّقَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَنَزَلَ ‏{‏هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لاَ تُنْفِقُوا‏}‏ الآيَةَ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ زَيْدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the revelation of a Quranic verse in response to a statement made by Abdullah bin Ubai. Zaid bin Arqam was an Ansar, or one of the helpers, who lived in Medina and was present when Abdullah bin Ubai said not to spend on those who were with Allah's Messenger. He reported this statement to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the Ansar blamed him for it. However, Allah's Messenger ﷺ confirmed his statement and revealed the verse "They are those who say 'Spend nothing'". This hadith teaches us that we should always be truthful even if it means going against people we know or respect because truthfulness is rewarded by Allah SWT. It also teaches us that our words have consequences and can lead to revelations from Allah SWT which can affect many people. We should therefore think carefully before speaking so as not to cause any harm or distress with our words.
