As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Eman - 9th Rabi-ath-Thani 1427 (8 May 2006)
Narrated by Safwan bin Muhriz (Radhiallaho anho) that:
Jundab bin Abdullah al-Bajali (Radhiallaho anho) during the
stormy days of Ibn Zubair (Radhiallaho anho) sent a message to
As'as bin Salama: Gather some men of your family so that I
should talk to them. He ('As'as) sent a messenger to them (to
the members of his family). When they had assembled, Jundab
came there with a yellow hooded cloak on him, He said: Talk
what you were busy in talking. The talk went on by turns, till
there came his (Jundab's) turn. He took off the hooded cloak
from his head and said: I have come to you with no other
intention but to narrate to you a hadith of your Messenger
(sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam): Verily the Messenger of Allah
sent a squad of the Muslims to a tribe of the polytheists. Both
the armies confronted one another. There was a man among the
army of polytheists who (was so dashing that), whenever he
intended to kill a man from among the Muslims, he killed him.
Amongst the Muslims too was a man looking forward to (an
opportunity of) his (the polytheist's) unmindfulness. He
(the narrator) said: We talked that he was Usama bin Zaid
(Radhiallaho anho) . When he raised his sword, he (the soldier
of the polytheists) uttered:" There is no god but Allah," but
he (Usama bin Zaid) killed him. When the messenger of the glad
tidings came to the Messenger, he asked him (about the events
of the battle) and he informed him about the man (Usama) and
what he had done He (the Prophet of Allah) called for him and
asked him why he had killed him. He (Usama) said: Messenger of
Allah, he struck the Muslims and killed such and such of them.
And he even named some of them. (He continued): I attacked him
and when he saw the sword he said: There is no god but Allah.
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Did you
kill him? He (Usama) replied in the affirmative. He (the Holy
Prophet) remarked: What would you do with:" There is no god but
Allah," when he would come (before you) on the Day of Judgment?
He (Usama) said: Messenger of Allah, beg pardon for me (from
your Lord). He (the Holy Prophet) said: What would you do
with:" There is no god but Allah" when he would come (before
you) on the Day of Judgment? He (the Holy Prophet) added nothing
to it but kept saying: What would you do with:" There is no
but Allah," when he would come (before you) on the Day of
Judgment?
