Source notes and markers of doubt

  • Ibn Ishaq mentions nothing about the man in this place beyond his lineage and name among the twelve.
  • The book's description of the group as "hypocrites" is not attached here to this man specifically; the verse's descent applies to them collectively (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.
