{And keep yourself (O Muḥammad) patiently with those who call on their Lord (i.e.<br />
your companions who remember their Lord with glorification, praising in prayers,<br />
etc., and other righteous deeds, etc.) morning and afternoon, seeking His Face, and<br />
let not your eyes overlook them} – and do not sit with the nobles – {desiring the pomp<br />
and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made<br />
heedless of Our Remembrance} – meaning `Uyainah and al-Aqra` – (and who follows<br />
his own lusts and whose affair (deeds) has been lost.} [Surah al-Kahf (18): 28]<br />
He ﷺ then said: ❝May they be doomed.❞ He ﷺ said: ❝May the affair of<br />
`Uyainah and al-Aqra` be doomed.❞ Then he made the parable for them of two men<br />
ﷺ and the parable of this world.” Khabbaab said: ‘We used to sit with the Prophet<br />
ﷺ and if the time came for him to leave, we would get up and leave him, then he<br />
would leave.’”<br />
Sunan Ibn Maajah (4127) and the wording is his; Ibn Jareer in his Tafseer (7/201); Ibn<br />
Abee Shaibah in his “Musnad” (477) and the wording within the bracket is from him;<br />
Abu Ya`laa; Abu Nu`aim in “al-Ḥilyah”; Ibn al-Mundhir; Ibn Abee Ḥaatim; and Abu al-<br />
Shaikh; Ibn Mardawaih; al-Baihaqee in “al-Dalaa’il”, and its chain is “Ṣaḥeeḥ” as al-<br />
رضيُاهللُ Booṣeeree had said. It has a supporting chain from the narration of Ibn Mas`ood<br />
in a shorter form, reported by Imaam Aḥmad in his “Musnad” (3985), and Ibn Jareer ,عنه<br />
(7/200), from the route of Ash`ath, from Kurdoos al-Tha`labee, from Ibn Mas`ood. The<br />
chain of this narration would have been “Ṣaḥeeḥ” had it been Ash`ath Ibn Abee al-<br />
Sha`thaa’, but the correct opinion is that he is Ash`ath Ibn Sawwaar, and he has some<br />
weakness. 318<br />
Sa`d (Ibn Abee Waqqaaṣ) رضي ُاهلل ُعنه reported: “We were six men in the company of<br />
<strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ when the Mushriks (polytheists) said to <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger<br />
said: ‘Drive them away, lest they should begin to venture against us.’ He (Sa`d) :ﷺ<br />
(The six were), myself, Ibn Mas`ood, and a person from the tribe of Hudhail, Bilaal and<br />
two other men whose names I do not know. The Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah ﷺ thought<br />
what <strong>Al</strong>laah wished him to think, and then <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل revealed:<br />
318 [TN: See “al-Ṣaḥeeḥah” (3297) of Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee for the complete discussion of the various supporting<br />
chains of this narration]<br />
