4269. Narrated Usāma bin Zaid رَضِيَ اللَّهُعَنْهُمَا: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent us towardsAl-Ḥuraqa, and in the morning we attackedthem and defeated them. I, and an Anṣārīman followed a man from among them andwhen we took him over, he said, "Lā ilāhaillallāh (none has the right to be worshippedbut Allāh)." On hearing that, the Anṣārī manstopped, but I killed him by stabbing himwith my spear. When we returned, theProphet ﷺ came to know about that and hesaid, "O Usāma! Did you kill him after he had said 'Lā ilāha illallāh'?" I said, "But he said so only to save himself." The Prophet ﷺ kept on repeating that so often that I wished I had not embraced Islām before that day.

Arabic text

4269 - حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو ظَبْيَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، يَقُولُ: بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الحُرَقَةِ، فَصَبَّحْنَا القَوْمَ فَهَزَمْنَاهُمْ، وَلَحِقْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ، فَلَمَّا غَشِينَاهُ، قَالَ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَكَفَّ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَطَعَنْتُهُ بِرُمْحِي حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا بَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أُسَامَةُ، أَقَتَلْتَهُ بَعْدَ مَا قَالَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ» قُلْتُ: كَانَ مُتَعَوِّذًا، فَمَا زَالَ يُكَرِّرُهَا، حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَسْلَمْتُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ
