قال تعالى: {فَمَنْ حَاجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَنِسَاءَنَا وَنِسَاءَكُمْ وَأَنْفُسَنَا وَأَنْفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَلْ لَعْنَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ (61)} [آل عمران: 61].
72 - عن جابر - رضي الله عنه - قال: قدم وفد أهل نجران على النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - العاقب والسيد، فدعاهما إلى الإسلام، فقالا: أسلمنا قبلك، قال: "كذبتما، إن شئت أخبرتكما بما يمنعكما من الإسلام؟ " فقالا: هات أنبئنا، فقال: "حب الصليب، وشرب الخمر، وأكل لحم الخنزير"، فدعاهما إلى الملاعنة، فوعداه على أن يغادياه بالغداة، فغدا رسول اللّه - صلى الله عليه وسلم -، فأخذ بيد علي وفاطمة والحسن والحسين، ثم أرسل إليهما فأبيا أن يجيبا، فأقرا له بالخراج، فقال النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: "والذي بعثني بالحق لو فعلا لمطر الوادي ناراً". قال جابر: فنزلت فيهم هذه الآية: {فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَنِسَاءَنَا وَنِسَاءَكُمْ وَأَنْفُسَنَا وَأَنْفُسَكُمْ} ¬أخرجه الواحدي في أسباب النزول: ص 105 - 106، والحاكم: 2/ 593 - 594 دون ذكر نزول الآية، وزاد الشوكاني عزوه في فتح القدير: 1/ 574 لابن مردويه وأبو نعيم في الدلائل، وقال الحاكم: هذا حديث صحيح على شرط مسلم ولم يخرجاه، ووافقه الذهبي، وله شاهد من مرسل الحسن وهو مرسل صحيح الإسناد، وأصل قصة الملاعنة في البخاري برقم: 4380 من حديث حذيفة.¥.
