[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him to Khalid ibn Sufyan ibn Nuayh Al-Hudhali to kill him, as he was gathering forces to fight against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, "So I came to him while he was in the middle of his back and it was the time of Asr prayer. I feared that there might be an attempt between me and him that would distract me from prayer. So I prayed while walking, making gestures. When I finished, I approached him and said, 'So and so', until I mentioned the conversation. Then he went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of his killing him and mentioned the conversation."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ نُبَيْحٍ الْهُذَلِيِّ لِيَقْتُلَهُ وَكَانَ يُجَمِّعُ لِقِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِعُرَنَةَ وَهُوَ فِي ظَهْرٍ لَهُ وَقَدْ دَخَلَ وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ فَخِفْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ مُحَاوَلَةٌ تَشْغَلُنِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ فَصَلَّيْتُ وَأَنَا أَمْشِي أُومِئُ إِيمَاءً فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ قُلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَتْلِهِ إِيَّاهُ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
