1693. Anas bin Mālik narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ entered (Makkah) during the year of the Conquest, and upon his head was a helmet (Mighfar). It was said to him: 'Ibn Khaṭal is clinging to the covering of the Ka'bah.' So he said: 'Kill him.'" (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh [Gharīb]. We do not know of anyone important who reported it other than Mālik from Az-Zuhri.
١٦٩٣ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ»، وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمِغْفَرُ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: ابْنُ خَطَلٍ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَقَالَ: اقْتُلُوهُ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. لَا نَعْرِفُ كَبِيرَ أَحَدٍ، رَوَاهُ غَيْرَ مَالِكٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ.

As regards 'Abdullāh bin Khaṭal, he had first converted to Islam, then turned apostate. He was not only a war criminal, but also had gone as far as getting his two handmaids to sing verses of poetry lampooning the Prophet ﷺ. That is the reason why the Prophet ﷺ condemned him to death. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhī, v.3, p.28).
