‘Amir
bin ‘Abdullah bin Zubair narrated that his father told him that
there was no more than four years between their becoming Muslim and
the revelation of this Verse, by which Allah reprimanded them:
“Lest
they become as those who received the Scripture before, and the term
was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened? And many of
them were rebellious.” [57:16]
