(Second chain) Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not feel as much grief for any group as he felt for these people; they were called the Qurra (reciters). Sufyan says: This verse was revealed about these people: {بَلِّغُوْا قَوْمَنَا عَنَّا أَنَّا قَدْ رَضِیْنَا وَرَضِیَ عَنَّا} meaning: "Convey to our people that we are pleased with our Lord and He is pleased with us." Someone asked Imam Sufyan, "About whom was this verse revealed?" He said: "About the people of Bi’r Ma‘unah."
