There was a man in charge of the Prophet’s ﷺ baggage, called Kirkirah, and he died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “He is in the Fire.” So they went to look at him and found a cloak that he had stolen from the booty.

البخاري:٣٠٧٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

كَانَ عَلَى ثَقَلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ، يُقَالُ لَهُ كِرْكِرَةُ، فَمَاتَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «هُوَ فِي النَّارِ». فَذَهَبُوا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدُوا عَبَاءَةً قَدْ غَلَّهَا.

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: قَالَ ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ: كَرْكَرَةُ يَعْنِي بِفَتْحِ الْكَافِ وَهْوَ مَضْبُوطٌ كَذَا.

“There was a man called Kirkah in charge of the goods of the Prophet ﷺ, who died. The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘He is in Hell.’ They went and looked, and found him wearing a garment or a cloak that he had stolen from the spoils of war.”

كَانَ عَلَى ثَقَلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ كِرْكِرَةُ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هُوَ فِي النَّارِ فَذَهَبُوا يَنْظُرُونَ فَوَجَدُوا عَلَيْهِ كِسَاءً أَوْ عَبَاءَةً قَدْ غَلَّهَا

وَقَالَ مَرَّةً عَلَى ثَقَلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ كِرْكِرَةُ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ هُوَ فِي النَّارِ فَنَظَرُوا فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِ عَبَاءَةٌ قَدْ غَلَّهَا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أَوْ كِسَاءٌ قَدْ غَلَّهُ
