﴿ بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ﴾
“O YOU who have attained to faith! Do not put yourselves forward in the presence of [what] God and His Apostle [may have ordained], but remain conscious of God: for, verily, God is all-hearing, all-knowing!”
(O ye who believe! Be not forward in the presence of Allah and His messenger, and keep your duty to Allah�) [49:1]. Abu Nasr Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim informed us> �Ubayd Allah ibn Muhammad al-�Ukbari> �Abd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Baghawi> al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn al-Sabah> Hajjaj ibn Muhammad> Ibn Jurayj> Ibn Abi Mulaykah> �Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr who relate that horsemen from the Banu Tamim went to see the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, and so Abu Bakr said: �Appoint al-Qa�qa� ibn Ma�bad as their leader�, �Umar, on the other hand, said: �No, appoint al-Aqra� ibn Habis as their leader!� Abu Bakr said to �Umar: �You just want to oppose me!� �Umar said: �I do not want to oppose you�, and they argued to the extent that they raised their voices on each other. About this incident, these words of Allah, exalted is He, were revealed: (O ye who believe! Be not forward in the presence of Allah and His messenger�) up to His words, glorified is He, (And if they had had patience till thou camest forth unto them, it had been better for them�) [49:5]. This was narrated by Bukhari from al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn al-Sabah.
