Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

‘From among all these, you (only) chose me to be killed?’ He ﷺ replied: ❝Yes,
because you had spat on my face.❞ Then Allaah تعاىل revealed:
‏﴿وَيَو مَُيَعَضُُّالظَّالِ‏ ‏ُعَلَىُيَدَي هُِيَق ول ‏ُيَاُلَي تَنِ‏ ‏ُاَتََّذ ت ‏ُمَعَُالرَّس ولِ‏ ‏ُسَبِيال ‏ُ*ُيَاُوَي لَّتَىُلَي تَُنِ‏ ‏ُلَ‏ ‏ُأََتَِّذ ‏ُف الَ‏ ن اُ‏

{And (remember) the Day when the Ẓhaalim (wrong-doer) will bite at his hands, he
will say: “Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger! Ah! Woe to me!
Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend! He indeed led me astray from the
Reminder (this Qur’aan) after it had come to me. And Shaiṭaan is ever a deserter to
man in the hour of need.”} [Surah al-Furqaan (25): 27-29
(Shaikh al-Albaanee said): This was reported by Ibn Mardawaih and Abu Nu`aim in “al-
Dalaa’il” with a “Ṣaḥeeḥ” chain, from the route of Sa`eed Ibn Jubair, from Ibn `Abbaas,
as al-Suyooṭee had mentioned in “al-Durr al-Manthoor” (5/68). 285
ﷺ also narrated: The Quraish promised the Messenger of Allaah رضيُاهللُعنه Ibn `Abbaas
that they will give him so much wealth that he will become the wealthiest man in
Makkah, and will marry him to as many women as he wants. And they said: ‘O
Muḥammad, this is for you from our side in replacement that you should stop insulting
our gods, and you should not criticize them anymore. But if you do not wish this, then
we have only one (last) proposal left for you, in which there is a mutual benefit - for
285 [TN: This is how al-Suyooṭee had reported in “al-Durr al-Manthoor” and it is an error on his part, and Shaikh al-
Albaanee relied on him for this narration. The narration from the route of Sa`eed Ibn Jubair, from Ibn `Abbaas is
not reported in “al-Dalaa’il” of Abu Nu`aim. What Abu Nu`aim has narrated in his “al-Dalaa’il” (401), is from his
route, from Muḥammad Ibn Marwaan, from Muḥammad Ibn al-Saaib (in the original it is: al-Musayyib, but it is a
mistake), from Abu Ṣaaleh, from Ibn `Abbaas ‏,رضيُاهللُعنه and there is more detail to this narration from this route.
Furthermore, after quoting the same narration from al-Suyooṭee, Shaikh Muqbil said: “I was not able to find the
chain of this narration. But In “Musannaf” of `Abdul Razzaaq (9731) and in the “Tafseer” of Ibn Jareer, there is a
similar incident mentioned, but it is “Mursal”, and in place of `Uqbah Ibn Abu Mu`ait it is mentioned Ubay Ibn
Khalaf. And `Abdul Razzaaq also connected this narration in his “Tafseer” (2085, 2086), but from the route of
`Uthmaan al-Jazaree, from Miqsam, the freed slave of Ibn `Abbaas, from Ibn `Abbaas*. But in its chain is
`Uthmaan al-Jazaree and his narrations are not taken as evidence. At the moment, we will stop from grading this
narration (which is reported by al-Suyooṭee) because al-Suyooṭee رمحه ‏ُاهلل was Mutasaahil (lenient in grading the
Aḥaadeeth).” [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Musnad min Asbaab al-Nuzool (1/171-172)]
* Even the narration reported by `Abdul Razzaaq in his “Tafseer” is “Mursal”. Miqsam did not narrate it from Ibn
`Abbaas, and that was an error from Shaikh Muqbil. As for `Uthmaan al-Jazaree, Imaam Aḥmad said about him:
“He narrated “Munkar” Aḥaadeeth, and it is claimed that he had lost his book.”, and Abu Ḥaatim and al-
Haithamee said about him: “Unknown”.]
