وعن سعد بن أبي وقاص رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ستة نفر، فقال المشركون للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ اطرد هؤلاء لايجترئون علينا، وكنت أنا وابن مسعود ورجلان لست أسميهما، فوقع في نفس رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما شاء الله أن يقع، فحدث نفسه، فأنزل الله تعالى‏:‏ ‏{‏ولا تطرد الذين يدعون ربهم بالغداة والعشي يريدون وجهه‏}‏ ‏(‏‏(‏الأنعام‏:‏ 52‏:‏ رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Six of us were with the Prophet (ﷺ) when the infidels said to him: "Drive these ones away, lest they should begin to venture against us". The six were, myself, Ibn Mas'ud, a man of the Hudhail tribe, Bilal and two other men whose names I don't know. Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) thought what Allah wished him to think, and Allah revealed: "And turn not away those who invoke their Rubb, morning and afternoon seeking His Face." (6:52)
