English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The verse "And no Prophet could (ever) be false to his trust" was revealed about a red velvet. When it was found missing on the day of Badr, some people said; Perhaps the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has taken it. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down "And no prophet could (ever) be false to his trust" to the end of the verse. Abu Dawud said: In the word yaghulla the letter ya has a short vowel a.

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ سورة آل عمران آية 161 فِي قَطِيفَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ ، فُقِدَتْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ : لَعَلّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَمَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَغُلَّ سورة آل عمران آية 161 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
" ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : يَغُلَّ مَفْتُوحَةُ الْيَاءِ .
