And he followed that with his saying: ﴿And seek forgiveness from Allah﴾; meaning: the One who has complete encompassing knowledge; and absolute richness; ﴿was﴾; meaning: eternally and forever; ﴿Forgiving, Merciful﴾; and this seeking forgiveness is not for a sin; for He is exalted above that; protected from it; but rather for a high and complete rank; to ascend to higher and more complete than it; and Al-Tirmidhi narrated the reason for the revelation of these verses; to His saying (Exalted is He): ﴿Indeed, he has strayed far astray﴾ [An-Nisa: 116]; from a clear and sufficient explanation; and he referred to the Banu Ubayriq as " , "Bashir" : "Bashir" , "Mubashir" : "Mubashir" , "and he did not mention the theft; and Allah (p-390) - glorified and exalted is He - knows best; he said: from Qatadah ibn Al-Nu'man who said: "There was a household among us called Banu Ubayriq: Bashir; and Bashir; and Mubashir; and Bashir was a hypocrite; he would recite poetry in which he would insult the companions of the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him; then he would attribute it to some Arabs; then he would say: So-and-so said such and such; when the companions of the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, heard that poetry they said: By Allah, this poetry is only said by this vile one; he said: And they were a household in need; impoverished in the days of ignorance; and in Islam; then a caravan came from Sham; and my uncle Rifa'ah ibn Zayd bought a load of dirhams; and he placed it in a storage place of his; and in the storage place was a weapon; a shield and a sword; then they were attacked from beneath the house; and the storage place was broken into; and the food and weapons were taken; when morning came, my uncle Rifa'ah came to me; and said: O my nephew; indeed, we were attacked on this night; our storage place was broken into; and our food and weapons were taken; he said: So we searched the house; and it was said to us: We saw the Banu Ubayriq lighting a fire on this night; and we do not see in what we see except some of your food; he said: And the Banu Ubayriq said - while we were asking in the house -: By Allah, we do not see your companion except Labid ibn Sahl - a man from us who is righteous and has embraced Islam -; when Labid heard this, he drew his sword and said: Am I a thief?! By Allah, this sword will mix with you; or you will clarify this theft; they said: Leave us, O man; for you are not its owner; so we inquired in the house until we were certain that they were its owners; and my uncle said to me: O my nephew; if you went to the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, and mentioned that to him; Qatadah said: So I went to him; and the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, said: "I will command regarding that"; when the Banu Ubayriq heard, they went to a man among them called Asir ibn 'Urwah; and they spoke to him about that; and people from the household gathered regarding that; and they said: O Messenger of Allah; indeed, Qatadah ibn Al-Nu'man; and his uncle; have accused a household among us; a household of Islam; and righteousness; of theft without evidence; and no proof; Qatadah said (p-392): So I went to the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, and spoke to him; and he said: "You have accused a household that has been mentioned among them Islam and righteousness; accusing them of theft without proof; and evidence?!"; he said: So my uncle said to me: O my nephew; what did you do? So I informed him of what the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, said to me; and he said: Allah is the One sought for help; and it was not long before the Qur'an was revealed: ﴿Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book in truth﴾ [An-Nisa: 105]; to: ﴿a disputant﴾ [An-Nisa: 105] regarding Banu Ubayriq; ﴿And seek forgiveness from Allah﴾; for what you said to Qatadah; ﴿Indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful﴾; to His saying: ﴿So We will surely give him a great reward﴾ [An-Nisa: 114]; when the Qur'an was revealed, the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, was given back the weapons; and he returned them to Rifa'ah; and when the Qur'an was revealed, Bashir joined the polytheists; and he went to Sulafah bint Sa'd ibn Sumayyah; and Allah - glorified and exalted is He - revealed: ﴿And whoever opposes the Messenger﴾ [An-Nisa: 115]; to His saying: ﴿far astray﴾ [An-Nisa: 116]; " and Ibn Ishaq narrated the hadith in Al-Sirah; and added: Indeed, Hassan said in his revelation at her place verses; so she expelled him; and he went to Ta'if; and entered a house to steal from it; and he was caught and died; and Quraysh said: By Allah, no one departs from Muhammad from his companions who has any good.\
