Sahih Muslim Book - 44, Hadith - 6241

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الأَسَدِيُّ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّةَ نَفَرٍ ، فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اطْرُدْ هَؤُلاَءِ لاَ يَجْتَرِئُونَ عَلَيْنَا. قَالَ وَكُنْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ ، وَبِلاَلٌ ، وَرَجُلاَنِ لَسْتُ أُسَمِّيهِمَا ، فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقَعَ فَحَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَلاَ تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ.

It was narrated that Sa'd said: "We were six people with the Prophet (s.a.w). And the idolaters said to the Prophet (s.a.w): 'Send these people away so that they will not become too bold with us.' They were myself, Ibn Mas'ud, a man from Hudhail, Bilal," and two men whose names I do not know. There occurred to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) what Allah willed should occur and he thought to himself. Then Allah revealed the words: 'And turn not away those who invoke their Lord, morning and afternoon seeking His Face.'"
