Usama bin Zaid said, The Prophet (ﷺ) rode over a donkey with a saddle underneath which there was a thick soft Fadakiya velvet sheet. Usama bin Zaid was his companion rider, and he was going to pay a visit to Sa`d bin Ubada (who was sick) at the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a gathering in which there were Muslims and pagan idolators and Jews, and among them there was `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul, and there was `Abdullah bin Rawaha too. When a cloud of dust raised by the animal covered that gathering, `Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his Rida (sheet) and said (to the Prophet), Don't cover us with dust. The Prophet (ﷺ) greeted them and then stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and also recited to them the Holy Qur'an. `Abdullah bin Ubai' bin Salul said, O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if what you say is the truth. So do not trouble us in our gatherings. Go back to your mount (or house,) and if anyone of us comes to you, tell (your tales) to him. On that `Abdullah bin Rawaha said, (O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!) Come to us and bring it(what you want to say) in our gatherings, for we love that. So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started quarreling till they were about to fight and clash with one another. The Prophet (ﷺ) kept on quietening them (till they all became quiet). He then rode his animal, and proceeded till he entered upon Sa`d bin 'Ubada, he said, O Sa`d, didn't you hear what Abu Habbab said? (He meant `Abdullah bin Ubai). He said so-and-so. Sa`d bin 'Ubada said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Excuse and forgive him, for by Allah, Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this town decided to crown him (as their chief) and make him their king. But when Allah prevented that with the Truth which He had given you, it choked him, and that was what made him behave in the way you saw him behaving. So the Prophet excused him.

':'Telah menceritakan kepada kami Ibrahim bin Musa telah mengabarkan kepada kami Hisyam dari Ma'mar dari Az Zuhri dari 'Urwah bin Zubair dia berkata; telah mengabarkan kepadaku Usamah bin Zaid bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengendarai keledai milik beliau di atasnya ada pelana bersulam beludru Fadaki sementara Usamah bin Zaid membonceng di belakang beliau ketika hendak menjenguk Sa'ad bin 'Ubadah di Bani Al Harits Al Khazraj peristiwa itu tersjadi sebelum perang Badar lalu beliau berjalan hingga melewati suatu majlis yang di majlis tersebut bercampur antara kaum Muslimin orang-orang musyrik para penyembah patung dan orang-orang Yahudi dan dalam majlis tersebut terdapat pula Abdullah bin Ubay bin Salul dan Abdullah bin Rawahah saat majlis itu dipenuhi kepulan debu hewan kendaraan 'Abdullah bin Ubai menutupi hidungnya dengan selendang sambil berkata: 'Jangan mengepuli kami dengan debu ' kemudian Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengucapkan salam pada mereka lalu berhenti dan turun Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengajak mereka menuju Allah sambil membacakan al-Qur'an kepada mereka. 'Abdullah bin Ubay bin Salul berkata kepada beliau: 'Wahai saudara! Sesungguhnya apa yang kamu katakan tidak ada kebaikannya sedikit pun bila apa yang kau katakan itu benar maka janganlah kamu mengganggu kami di majlis ini silahkan kembali ke kendaraan anda lalu siapa saja dari kami mendatangi anda silahkan anda bercerita padanya.' Abdullah bin Rawahah berkata; 'Wahai Rasulullah bergabunglah dengan kami di majlis ini karena kami menyukai hal itu.' Maka Kaum muslimin orang-orang musyrik dan orang-orang Yahudi pun saling mencaci hingga mereka hendak saling menyerang Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam terus menenangkan mereka hingga mereka semuanya diam kemudian beliau naik kendaraan hingga masuk ke kediaman Sa'd bin 'Ubadah lalu beliau bersabda: 'Hai Sa'd! Apa kau tidak mendengar ucapan Abu Hubab?' maksud beliau tentang ucapan 'Abdullah bin Ubay. Beliau bersabda: 'Dia telah mengatakan ini dan ini.' Sa'ad berkata; 'Maafkan dia wahai Rasulullah dan berlapang dadalah kepadanya demi Allah Allah telah memberi anda apa yang telah diberikan pada anda. (dahulu) Penduduk telaga ini (penduduk Madinah -red) bersepakat untuk memilihnya dan mengangkatnya namun karena kebenaran yang diberikan kepada anda itu muncul sehingga menghalanginya (Abdullah bin Ubay) menjabat sebagai pemimpin maka seperti itulah perbuatannya sebagaimana yang anda lihat.' Akhirnya beliau pun mema'afkannya.'
