Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). We were six men. The polytheists said: Keep these people away from yourself, these people are such and such (the narrator says:) I was there, Abdullah bin Mas’ud was there, there was a man from the tribe of Huzail, Bilal was there, and there were two other men, one of whom I have forgotten. The narrator says: So regarding this, whatever Allah willed came to the mind of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he thought about it in his mind (that we should remove these people from ourselves), so Allah the Exalted revealed this verse:“And do not turn away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure.”This verse is until:“the wrongdoers.”
