Qur'an 9:61

And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you, who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers, and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom.

And there are some of them who molest the Prophet and say: He is one who believes every thing that he hears; say: A hearer of good for you (who) believes in Allah and believes the faithful and a mercy for those of you who believe; and (as for) those who molest the Messenger of Allah, they shall have a painful punishment.

(And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearerﾅ) [9:61-62]. This was revealed about a group of hypocrites who used to harm the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, by saying about him things that should not be said. One of them said: ﾓDo not do this, for we fear that what we say might reach him and he will punish usﾔ. Al-Julas ibn Suwayd said: ﾓWe will say whatever we wish to say and when we go to him he will believe whatever we tell him, for Muhammad is nothing but a hearerﾔ, and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse. Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Yasar and others said: ﾓThis verse was revealed about one hypocrite whose name is Nabtal ibn al-Harith. This man was dark-skinned, red-eyed, burned in the cheeks and deformed. It is this man about whom the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, said: Whoever wants to look at the devil, let him look at Nabtal ibn al-Harithﾒ. This man was a tale bearer; he related the words of the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, to the hypocrites. And when he was told to stop doing this, he said: Indeed, Muhammad is but a hearer, he believes everything that people tell him. We say whatever we like and then we go to him and swear that we never said it and he believes usﾒ. And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verseﾔ. Al-Suddi said: ﾓA group of hypocrites, including Julas ibn Suwayd ibn al-Samit and Wadiah ibn Thabit, gathered and wanted to speak ill of the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace. They had with them a boy from the Helpers by the name of Amir ibn Qays. These hypocrites mocked the Prophet and then spoke and said By Allah, if what Muhammad says is true, then we are worse than assesﾒ. The boy got angry and said: By Allah, what Muhammad says is true and you are worse than assesﾒ. The boy then went to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, and informed him about what they said. The Prophet summoned them and when he asked them they swore that Amir was a liar. Amir also swore that they were liars. Amir then prayed: O Allah, do not make us disperse until you show who is lying and who s telling the truthﾒ. And so this verse was revealed about them (And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer) and He also revealed (They swear by Allah to you (Muslims) to please youﾅ) [9:62]ﾔ.

Hypocrites annoy the Prophet Allah says, وَمِنْهُمُ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ النَّبِيَّ وَيِقُولُونَ ... And among them are men who annoy the Prophet and say: Allah says, some hypocrites bother the Messenger of Allah by questioning his character, saying, ... هُوَ أُذُنٌ ... he is (lending his) ear, to those who say anything about us; he believes whoever talks to him. Therefore, if we went to him and swore, he would believe us. Similar was reported from Ibn Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah. Allah said, ... قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ ... Say: "He listens to what is best for you,'' he knows who's saying the truth and who is lying, ... يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ... he believes in Allah; has faith in the believers, he believes the believers, ... وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مِنكُمْ ... and is a mercy to those of you who believe,'' and a proof against the disbelievers, ... وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿٦١﴾ But those who annoy Allah's Messenger, will have a painful torment.
