مسند احمد

2211
Musnad Ahmed
Saheeh]
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that a man from among the Ansar apostatised from Islam and joined the mushrikeen, then Allah revealed the verse:
“How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their Belief and after they bore witness that the Messenger (Muhammad (ﷺ)) is true and after clear proofs had come unto them? And Allah guides not the people who are Zalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers)" [Al 'Imran 3:86]. His people sent word of that to him; he came back repenting and the Prophet (ﷺ) accepted that from him and let him off.
