Jabir reported, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a Friday when a small supply of food came in for sale, and the people went out to it, so that only twelve men remained, and I was among them. Then Allah Most High revealed, "And when they see some trade or amusement, they rush off to it and leave you standing" [Jumuah 62:11], to the end of the verse.In another narration: the Prophet ﷺ, as Hilal related, was delivering the sermon standing on Friday when a caravan arrived from Syria, and the people turned aside toward it.In yet another narration: the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ hurried out to it until only twelve men remained with him, among them Abu Bakr and Umar.
كنا مع النبي ﷺ يوم الجمعة، فقدمت سويقة، قال: فخرج الناس إليها، فلم يبق إلا اثنا عشر رجلا، أنا فيهم، قال: فأنزل الله تعالى: {وإذا رأوا تجرة أو لهوا أنفضوا إليها وتركوك قائما} إلى آخر الآية. وفي رواية: أن النبي ﷺ الهلال لو كان يخطب قائما يوم الجمعة، فجاءت عيرمن الشام، فانفتل الناس إليها… وفي رواية أخرى: فابتدرها أصحاب رسول الله ﷺ حتى لم يبق معه إلا اثنا عشر رجلا، فيهم أبو بكر وعمر…
Bukhari related it in the tafsir chapter (4899) and Muslim in the Friday prayer chapter (863), both through the route of Khalid bin Abdullah Tahhan, who said, Husayn narrated to us, from Salim bin Abu Jaad and Abu Sufyan, from Jabir bin Abdullah, who said, and then he mentioned it. The wording given is Muslim's. The second and third narrations found in Muslim come through another route from Husayn bin Abdul-Rahman with the same content.His saying "suwayqah" is the diminutive form of "suq" (market), and what is meant by it is the caravan, as stated in the second narration, meaning the camels that carry food or merchandise. It is not called a caravan except in this sense, and it was called a "suq" (market) because goods are driven toward it.His saying "the people turned away toward it" means they departed toward it and rushed ahead to it.
