Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Sayyiduna Sa'b bin Jaththamah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed me that he heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the polytheists residing in a certain area, upon whom an attack is made at night, and in which their women and children are killed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are part of them." Sufyan says: The narrator named Amr had previously narrated this report from Zuhri, and in it these words were mentioned: "They are from their ancestors." But when Zuhri came to us, I did not hear these words from him. He only narrated these words: "They are part of them."
