حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَتِ الأَنْصَارُ بَعِيدَةً مَنَازِلُهُمْ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يَقْتَرِبُوا فَنَزَلَتْ ‏‏{وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَآثَارَهُمْ}‏ قَالَ فَثَبَتُوا ‏.‏

'Ali ibn Muhammad narrated to us: Waki' narrated to us: Isra'il narrated to us, from Simak, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: The homes of the Ansar were far from the mosque, and they wanted to move closer. Then the verse was revealed: ‘We record what they have sent ahead and their traces.’ So they stayed.

  • The quoted Quranic clause is translated as it appears in the source; the report links ‘their traces’ to their footsteps to the mosque.
