حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خُصَيْفٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مِقْسَمٌ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رضى الله عنهما نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏‏{‏ وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ ‏}‏ فِي قَطِيفَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ فُقِدَتْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخَذَهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏‏{‏ وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ ‏}‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَغُلَّ مَفْتُوحَةُ الْيَاءِ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah ibn Saʿid narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Wahid ibn Ziyad narrated to us: Khusayf narrated to us: Miqsam, the freedman of Ibn ʿAbbas, said: Ibn ʿAbbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: This verse, ‘It is not for a prophet to act dishonestly,’ was revealed concerning a red velvet cloak that went missing on the day of Badr. Some people said: ‘Perhaps the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it.’ So Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: ‘It is not for a prophet to act dishonestly,’ through the end of the verse. Abu Dawud said: The letter yaʾ in yaghulla is pronounced with a fatha.
