Source notes and markers of doubt

  • Ibn Ishaq mentions nothing here of the man beyond his name and descent among the twelve.
  • The book's description of the group as "hypocrites" is not attached here to this man in particular; the verse's descent covers them all together (p. 174).

The demolition of Masjid al-Dirar

When the Prophet stopped at Dhi Awan on his return from Tabuk, news of the mosque reached him; he summoned Malik ibn al-Dukhshum and Ma'n ibn Adi (or his brother Asim) and ordered them to demolish and burn it. They did so, its people dispersed, and Qur'an was revealed about them, according to Ibn Ishaq.
