2652. It was reported from Furāt bin Hayyān that the Messenger of
Allāh ﷻ ordered that he (i.e., a spy who is not a Muslim but is Dhinmī, having a covenant with Muslims) be killed. He was a spy for Abū Sufyān and an ally of a man from the Anṣār. He passed by a circle of the Anṣār and said: "I am a Muslim." A man from the Anṣār said: "O Messenger of Allāh! He claims that he is a Muslim." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Among you are people in whose faith we trust, among them are Furāt bin Ḥayyān." (Da'if)
