1. A number of [[sahaba]] had passed away before the [[Qibla]] was switched to Mecca, including As'ad b. Zurara. Meanwhile, several leaders of Jews cast doubts on the prayers of those sahaba who already passed away.<ref>Baghawi, ''Ma'alim al-tanzil'', Vol.1, P.123.</ref> Subsequently it raised question for As'ad's family and a number of [[sahaba]] about the prayers of departed Muslims. Therefore, the 143rd verse of [[al-Baqara]] was revealed:<ref>Tabarsi, ''Majma' al-bayan'', Vol.1, P.417.</ref> | |||
:::Never would Allah make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people most surely full of kindness Most Merciful.<ref>وَمَا کانَ اللّهُ لِیضِیعَ إِیمَانَکمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَؤُوفٌ رَّحِیمٌ</ref> | |||
2. It is narrated from [[Muqatil b. Sulayman]], that the 102nd and 103rd verses of [[Al 'Imran]] were revealed about the conflict between [[Tha'laba b. Ghanam]] and As'ad b. Zurara. However according to the reasons stated below, it seems attributing theses verses to Tha'laba and As'ad is not correct. Here is the story and its review: | |||
Tha'laba b. Ghanam from the tribe of [[Aws]] and As'ad b. Zurara from the tribe of [[Khazraj]] began a conflict on glorifying their own tribes. Tha'laba said [[Khuzayma Dhu al-Shahadatayn]], [[Hanzala Ghasil al-Malaika]] and [['Asim b. Thabit]] who supported [[Islam]] and [[Sa'd b. Mu'adh]] (whose decision on [[Hanzala Ghasil al-Malaika|Banu Qurayza]] was accepted by [[Allah]]) are all from our tribe. As'ad said: [[Ubay b. Ka'b]], [[Mu'adh b. Jabal]], [[Zayd b. Thabit]] and Abu Zayd (who carried and memorized Quran) and Sa'd b. 'Ubada, the chief of [[Ansar]], all are from our tribe. Subsequently, it led to a dispute which caused an armed conflict between the tribes. | |||
After this incident the 102nd and 103rd verses of [[Al 'Imran]] were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (s) which recommended piety and unity between both tribes. Afterwards both tribes agreed to make peace:<ref>Tabarsi, ''Majma' al-bayan'', Vol.2, P.804.</ref> | |||
:::O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared and die not except in a state of Islam. And hold fast all together by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you) and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favor on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love so that by His grace ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of fire and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make his signs clear to you: that ye may be guided.<ref>یا أَیهَا الَّذِینَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْاللّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلاَ تَمُوتُنَّ إِلاَّ وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ وَاعْتَصِمُواْ بِحَبْلِ اللّهِ جَمِیعًا وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُواْ وَاذْکرُواْ نِعْمَةَ اللّهِ عَلَیکمْ إِذْ کنتُمْ أَعْدَاء فَأَلَّفَ بَینَ قُلُوبِکمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا...</ref> | |||
If we consider some of the statements mentioned above, they took place after the demise of As'ad b. Zurara (1\623), then it would be incorrect to attribute this story to him. For instance, [[Hanzala b. Abi 'Amir|Hanzala]] was martyred in [[the Battle of Uhud]]; also the story on [[The Battle of Banu Qurayza|Banu Qurayza]] and [[Sa'd b. Mu'adh]] took place in 5\11th century. possibly it is related to Sa'd, As'd's brother, who was a hypocrite according to one narration.<ref>Waqidi, ''al-Maghazi'', Vol.3, P.1009.</ref> | |||
