Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبِي قَالَ، أَنْبَأَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ، وَأَصْحَابًا، لَهُ أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَكَّةَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا فِي عِزٍّ وَنَحْنُ مُشْرِكُونَ فَلَمَّا آمَنَّا صِرْنَا أَذِلَّةً ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِالْعَفْوِ فَلاَ تُقَاتِلُوا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا حَوَّلَنَا اللَّهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَمَرَنَا بِالْقِتَالِ فَكَفُّوا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏‏{‏ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلاَةَ ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Shaqiq informed us; he said: My father reported to us; he said: al-Husayn ibn Waqid reported to us, from Amr ibn Dinar, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, that Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf and some of his companions came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in Makkah and said: Messenger of Allah, when we were polytheists we were powerful, but when we embraced Islam we became weak. He said: I have been commanded to pardon, so do not fight. When Allah moved us to Madinah, He commanded us to fight, but they held back. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: Have you not seen those who were told, Restrain your hands and establish the prayer?
