4234. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: When we conquered Khaibar, we gained neither gold nor silver as booty, but we gained cows, camels, goods and gardens. Then we departed with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to the valley of Al-Qurā, and at that time Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had a slave called Mid'am who had been presented to him by one of Banū Aḍ-Ḍībāb. While the slave was dismounting the saddle of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, an arrow, the thrower of which was unknown, hit that slave. The people said, "Congratulations to him for the martyrdom." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the sheet (of cloth) which he had taken (illegally) on the day (of the battle) of Khaibar from the booty before the distribution of the booty, has become a flame of fire burning him." On hearing that, a man brought one or two leather straps of shoes to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "These are things I took (illegally)." On that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "This is a strap" or "these are two straps of fire."
