[278] 159 - (...) Usâmah bin Zaid bin Hârithah narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent us to Al-Ḥuraqah of Juhainah, where we attacked the people in the morning and defeated them. A man from among the Anṣār and I caught one of their men, and when we overpowered him, he said: Lâ ilāha illallāh. The Anṣār left him alone but I stabbed him with my spear and killed him. When we came back, news of that reached the Prophet ﷺ and he said to me: 'O Usāmah, did you kill him after he said Lâ ilāha illallāh?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, he was only trying to protect himself.' He said: 'Did you kill him after he said Lâ ilāha illallāh?' and he kept repeating it until I wished that I had not become Muslim before that day."

159 - (96) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ظَبْيَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ: بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْحُرَقَةِ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ، فَصَبَّحْنَا الْقَوْمَ فَهَزَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَحِقْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ، فَلَمَّا غَشِينَاهُ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، فَكَفَّ عَنْهُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، وَطَعَنْتُهُ بِرُمْحِي حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لِي: " يَا أُسَامَةُ، أَقَتَلْتَهُ بَعْدَ مَا قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ مُتَعَوِّذًا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «أَقَتَلْتَهُ بَعْدَ مَا قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ؟» قَالَ: فَمَا زَالَ يُكَرِّرُهَا عَلَيَّ حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَسْلَمْتُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
