7402. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent ten persons (as spies) to bring the enemy's secrets, and Khubaib Al-Anṣārī was one of them. 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Iyāḍ told me that the daughter of Al-Ḥārith told him that when they gathered (to kill Khubaib Al-Anṣārī) he asked for a razor to clean his pubic region, and when they had taken him outside the sanctuary (of Makkah) in order to kill him, he said in verse: "I don't care if I am killed as a Muslim, On any side (of my body) I may be killed in Allāh's Cause; For that is in 'Dhāt-Allāh' for the sake of Ilāh (Allāh's Self); And if He will, He will bestow His Blessings, upon the torn pieces of my body." Then Ibn Al-Ḥārith killed him. The Prophet ﷺ informed his Companions of the death of those (ten men) on the very day they were killed. (See H. 3045, Vol. 4)
