4207. Narrated Sahl: During one of his Ghazawāt, the Prophet ﷺ met in a battle with Al-Mushrikūn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muḥammad ﷺ) and the two armies fought, and then each of them returned to their army camps. Amongst the (army of the) Muslims there was a man who would follow every single isolated Mushrik and strike him with his sword. It was said, "O Allāh's Messenger! None has fought so satisfactorily as so-and-so (namely, that brave man)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "He is from the dwellers of the Hell-fire." The people said, "Who amongst us will be of the dwellers of Paradise if this (man) is from the dwellers of the Hell-fire?" Then a man from amongst the people said, "I will follow him and accompany him whether he ran fast or slow." The man got wounded, and hurried to die quickly, so he put the handle of his sword on the ground and its tip in between his breasts, and then threw himself over it, committing suicide. Then the man (who had watched the deceased) returned to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of Allāh." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is this?" The man told him the whole story. The Prophet ﷺ said, "A man may do what may seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise, but he is of the dwellers of the Hell-fire and a man may do what may seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of the Hell-fire, but he is from the dwellers of Paradise."

4207 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ: التَقَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالمُشْرِكُونَ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ، فَاقْتَتَلُوا، فَمَالَ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ إِلَى عَسْكَرِهِمْ، وَفِي المُسْلِمِينَ رَجُلٌ لاَ يَدَعُ مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ شَاذَّةً وَلاَ فَاذَّةً إِلَّا اتَّبَعَهَا فَضَرَبَهَا بِسَيْفِهِ، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا أَجْزَأَ أَحَدٌ مَا أَجْزَأَ فُلاَنٌ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ»، فَقَالُوا: أَيُّنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الجَنَّةِ، إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ القَوْمِ: لَأَتَّبِعَنَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَسْرَعَ وَأَبْطَأَ كُنْتُ مَعَهُ، حَتَّى جُرِحَ، فَاسْتَعْجَلَ المَوْتَ، فَوَضَعَ نِصَابَ سَيْفِهِ بِالأَرْضِ، وَذُبَابَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ، ثُمَّ تَحَامَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ، فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: «وَمَا ذَاكَ». فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الجَنَّةِ، فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ، وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، وَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ، وَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الجَنَّةِ»
