English

[278] 159 – ( … ) Usâmah bin Zaid bin Hirithah narrated: "The Li] Al-Anfâl 8:39. Messenger of AllahilJ sent us to A1-Huraqah of Juhainah, where we attacked the people in the morning and defeated them. A man from among the Anâr and I caught one of their men, and when we overpowered him, he said: La ilâha illallâh. The AnsârI left him alone but I stabbed him with my spear and killed him. When we came back, news of that reached the Prophet and he said to me: '0 Usâmah, did you kill him after he said La ilâha illallâh?' I said: '0 Messenger of Allah, he was only trying to protect himself.' He said: 'Did you kill him after he said La ilâha illallâh?' and he kept repeating it until I wished that I had not become Muslim before that day."
