2661 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَسِيدِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، وَهُوَ حَلِيفٌ لِبَنِي زُهْرَةَ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ

Commentary
Khubaib, may Allāh be pleased with him, had killed Hārith bin 'Āmir during the Battle of Badr. The children of Hārith then decided to quench their thirst for revenge, and so they killed Khubaib. It is one thing to kill an adversary on the battlefield and quite another to kill someone in revenge during peace time, which amounts to pure treachery.
