English translation

2643. It was reported from Usāmah bin Zaid who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent us on an expedition to Al-Huraqāt. They warned each other of us and fled. We reached a man from them and when we attacked him, he said: 'Lā ilāha illallāh (None has the right to be worshiped but Allāh)', but we struck him until we killed him. I told this to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'Who will save you from Lā ilāha illallāh on the Day of Judgment?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! He only uttered it out of fear of the weapon.' He said: 'Did you split open his heart so you know whether he said it for that or not? Who will save you from: Lā ilāha illallāh, on the Day of Judgment?' He kept on repeating it until I wished I had not accepted Islam before that day." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

2643 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً إِلَى الْحُرَقَاتِ فَنَذِرُوا بِنَا فَهَرَبُوا فَأَدْرَكْنَا رَجُلًا، فَلَمَّا غَشِينَاهُ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، فَضَرَبْنَاهُ حَتَّى قَتَلْنَاهُ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ لَكَ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟». فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّمَا قَالَهَا مَخَافَةَ السِّلَاحِ. قَالَ: «أَفَلَا شَقَقْتَ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ قَالَهَا أَمْ لَا؟ مَنْ لَكَ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟» فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُهَا حَتَّى وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أُسْلِمْ إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ
