Sahih al-Bukhari 4901 (Book 65, Hadith 421) #4682
The Revelation of Surat Al-Munafiqin

SUMMARY: This hadith is about how Allah revealed a verse in the Quran to confirm the statement of Zaid bin Arqam, who was distressed after his uncle informed Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) of what Abdullah bin Ubai and his companions said.

Narrated Zaid bin Arqam: I was with my uncle and I heard 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul, saying, "Don't spend on those who are with Allah's Messenger ﷺ that they may disperse and go away from him". He also said, "If we return to Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel the meaner". So I informed my uncle of that and then my uncle informed Allah's Messenger ﷺ thereof. Allah's Messenger ﷺ sent for 'Abdullah bin Ubai and his companions. They swore that they did not say anything of that sort Allah's Messenger ﷺ deemed their statement true and rejected mine. Thereof I became as distressed as I have never been before, and stayed at home. Then Allah revealed (Surat Al-Munafiqin): 'When the hypocrites come to you.(63:1) They are the ones who say: Spend nothing on those who are with Allah's Messenger ﷺ .(63:7) Verily the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner'. (63:7-8) Allah's Messenger ﷺ sent for me and recited that Sura for me and said, "Allah has confirmed your statement".
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ عَمِّي فَسَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَىٍّ ابْنَ سَلُولَ يَقُولُ لاَ تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنْفَضُّوا‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَيْضًا لَئِنْ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الأَذَلَّ‏.‏ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَمِّي فَذَكَرَ عَمِّي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَىٍّ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، فَحَلَفُوا مَا قَالُوا، فَصَدَّقَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَذَّبَنِي، فَأَصَابَنِي هَمٌّ لَمْ يُصِبْنِي مِثْلُهُ، فَجَلَسْتُ فِي بَيْتِي، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ‏}‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لاَ تُنْفِقُوا عَلَى مَنْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ‏}‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏لَيُخْرِجَنَّ الأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا الأَذَلَّ‏}‏ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَىَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ صَدَّقَكَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be honest even if no one believes you at first

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Allah revealed a verse in the Quran to confirm the statement of Zaid bin Arqaam. It all started when Zaid was with his uncle and heard Abdullah ibn Ubayy and his companions saying not to spend on those who are with Prophet Muhammad ﷺ so that they may disperse away from him. His uncle then informed Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about this which made him call for Abdullah ibn Ubayy and his companions. They swore that they did not say anything like that but Prophet Muhammad ﷺ believed them over Zaid's statement which made him very distressed. Then Allah revealed a verse in the Quran called Surah al Munafiqqoon confirming what he said which made him feel better as it showed that Allah believed him over them. This hadith teaches us an important lesson; we should always be truthful even if no one believes us because ultimately it is only Allah who knows what is true or false and He will always reward those who are honest even if no one else does at first.
