However, others ate it from the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) dining mat.

Seeing this, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward, took the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and said: O Messenger of Allah! You have supplicated much to your Lord; He will surely fulfill His promise. Thereupon Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: «‏‏‏‏﴿سَيُهْزَمُ الْجَمْعُ وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ﴾ [القمر: 45] » "Soon this assembly will be defeated and they will turn their backs and flee."

At this, Jibreel (peace be upon him) brought down this verse: «﴿أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهَى o عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى o أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى o أَوْ أَمَرَ بِالتَّقْوَى o أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى﴾ [العلق: 9-13] » "Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he prays? Have you seen if he is upon guidance, or enjoins righteousness? Have you seen if he denies and turns away?"
