Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثنا أحمد بن عَبدة قال أَخْبَرَنَا سُفيان عَن عَمْرو عَن عَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِي اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ لَحِقَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ رَجُلا فِي غُنَيْمَةٍ لَهُ فَسَلَّمَ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَخَذُوا غُنَيمته فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَلاَ تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلاَمَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا الغُنَيمةوَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَهَذَا الطَّرِيقُ أَحْسَنُ طَرِيقًا يُرْوَى عَنْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ
English Translation
Ahmad ibn Abdah narrated to us, he said: Sufyan informed us, from Amr, from Ata, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be well pleased with them both), who said: The Muslims overtook a man with his small flock of sheep. He greeted them with salam, but they killed him and took his sheep. So Allah revealed: 'And do not say to one who gives you [a greeting of] peace: You are not a believer — seeking the goods of worldly life' [4:94] — meaning the sheep. This hadith has been narrated from Ibn Abbas from other routes, and this route is the best route narrated from him in this regard.
