Regarding whom was the verse revealed: "O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The verse was revealed concerning Al-Walid ibn 'Uqbah when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent him to collect from Banu Al-Mustaliq. Al-Walid returned, claiming that Al-Harith ibn Dirar had withheld zakat and intended to kill him. So, the verse was revealed: "O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information..." (Quran 49:6). The correct name of the father of Juwayriyah, the Mother of the Believers, is Al-Harith ibn Dirar.
