bayhaqi:16832Abū Isḥāq > Ḥārithih b. Muḍarrib

[Machine] That Furat ibn Hayyan apostatized during the time of the Prophet (PBUH) and he was brought to the Prophet (PBUH) who intended to kill him. But then he gave truthful testimony and was spared, and his Islam became good. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, Abu al-Walid al-Faqih narrated to us, Abdullah ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated to us, Yazid ibn Harun reported it to us, and Al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned it, saying that this occurred numerous times in relation to bloodshed.

أَنَّ فُرَاتَ بْنَ حَيَّانَ ارْتَدَّ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرَادَ قَتْلَهُ فَشَهِدَ شَهَادَةَ الْحَقِّ فَخَلَّى عَنْهُ وَحَسُنَ إِسْلَامُهُ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أنبأ الْحَجَّاجُ فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَسَوَاءٌ كَثُرَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مَرَّةً بَعْدَ مَرَّةٍ فِي حَقْنِ الدَّمِ
