Sunan Abi Dawud 3971 (Book 32, Hadith 3) #24261
The Revelation of "And no Prophet could (ever) be false to his trust"

SUMMARY: This hadith explains how the verse "And no Prophet could (ever) be false to his trust" was revealed in response to a red velvet being found missing on the day of Badr.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The verse "And no Prophet could (ever) be false to his trust" was revealed about a red velvet. When it was found missing on the day of Badr, some people said; Perhaps the Messenger of Allah has taken it. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down "And no prophet could (ever) be false to his trust" to the end of the verse. Abu Dawud said: In the word yaghulla the letter ya has a short vowel a.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خُصَيْفٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مِقْسَمٌ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رضى الله عنهما نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏ وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ ‏}‏ فِي قَطِيفَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ فُقِدَتْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخَذَهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏ وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ ‏}‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَغُلَّ مَفْتُوحَةُ الْيَاءِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for truthfulness and honesty in our dealings with others.

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of Badr, a red velvet was found missing and some people suggested that perhaps the Messenger of Allah had taken it. In response to this accusation Allah sent down a verse from the Quran which reads “And no prophet could ever be false to his trust”. This verse is meant as an assurance that prophets are trustworthy and would never do something like this. It also serves as an example for us all that we should always strive for truthfulness and honesty in our dealings with others. We should never make accusations without any proof or evidence because it can lead to mistrust and hurt feelings between people.
