- .... So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) returned to them the captives and the spoils
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) sent al-Walid ibn Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'it to Banu al-Mustalaq of Khuza'ah to confirm (their faith) for them, as they had embraced Islam and built mosques. When they heard of al-Walid's approach, twenty men from them came out to meet him with a camel and sheep, rejoicing at his arrival. But when he saw them, he turned and fled back to Medina. He informed the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) that they had greeted him with weapons, trying to prevent him from the charity. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) intended to send someone to fight them. When this reached the people, a group of those who had met al-Walid came to him and informed the Prophet of the incident as it had happened. Then this verse was revealed: {O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with a report, investigate, lest you harm a people in ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful} (Surah al-Hujurat 49:6) to the end of the verse.
