English translation
[305] 178 - (111) It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "We were present at (the battle of) Hunain with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he said of a man who claimed to be a Muslim: 'This is one of the people of the Fire.' When the fighting began, that man fought fiercely, then he was wounded and it was said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, the man of whom you said that he is one of the people of the Fire fought fiercely today, and he has died.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'To the Fire.' Some of the Muslims could hardly believe it,[1] and while they were like that, it was said: 'He has not died, but he is badly wounded.' That night, he could no longer bear the pain, so he killed himself. The Prophet ﷺ was informed of that and he said: 'Allāhu Akbar! I bear witness that I am the Allāh's slave and His Messenger.' Then he ordered Bilāl to call out to the people: 'No one will enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and Allāh will support this religion even by means of an evildoer.'"
