3031. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who will kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf, indeed he has hurt Allāh and His Messenger?" Muḥammad bin Maslama said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Do you like me to kill him?" He replied in the affirmative. So, Muḥammad bin Maslama went to him (i.e., Ka'b) and said, "This person (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ) has put us to task and asked us for charity." Ka'b replied, "By Allāh, you will get tired of him." Muḥammad said to him, "We have followed him, so we dislike to leave him till we see the end of his affair." Muḥammad bin Maslama went on talking to him in this way till he got the chance to kill him.

3031 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مَنْ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ الأَشْرَفِ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ آذَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»، قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ: أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا - يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ عَنَّانَا وَسَأَلَنَا الصَّدَقَةَ، قَالَ: وَأَيْضًا، وَاللَّهِ لَتَمَلُّنَّهُ، قَالَ: فَإِنَّا قَدِ اتَّبَعْنَاهُ فَنَكْرَهُ أَنْ نَدَعَهُ، حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَا يَصِيرُ أَمْرُهُ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُكَلِّمُهُ حَتَّى اسْتَمْكَنَ مِنْهُ فَقَتَلَهُ
