A long time had elapsed for traders come to Madi ī nah as a result of which people were in want there. Thus, during the time God’s Messenger was delivering the Friday sermon, this caravan arrived and people fled towards it leaving him standing while he was delivering the sermon ... and only fifteen people remained with him. At this God Almighty revealed this verse: ۡ¤ ۨ ذ ر وۡ ﺗﺠﺎرةً وۡ ﻟﻬۡﻮ  ﻔﻀﻮۡۤ ﻟﻴۡﻬﺎ و ﺗﺮ ﻮۡك ﺧ)ۡ] ﻟﺮٰزﻗ)ۡ( RٰS و ﷲ J ﺧ)ۡ]ٌ ﻣﻦ ﻟﻠﻬۡﻮ و ﻣﻦ ﻟﺘﺠﺎرة RٰS ﻗﻞۡ ﻣﺎ ﻋﻨۡﺪ ﷲ J ﻤًﺎ ¥ ﻗﺂ (Such are these people that when they see some trading or merriment, they flock eagerly to it and leave you standing. Tell them: That which God has in store is far better than any merriment or trade. And, in reality, God is the best provider). 21 Ism ā ‘ ī l ibn ‘Abd al-Ra ḥ m ā n al-Sudd ī (d. 127 AH) is not an eye witness to the event discussed in this narrative. ـــــــــــــــــــــــــ 21.
