[Machine] Shuraih al-Khuzai was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. On the day of the conquest, the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ encountered a man from Hudhayl. They used to seek his protection in the pre-Islamic era in al-Haram. The Messenger of Allah ﷺwould lead prayers behind him and pledge allegiance to Islam. However, they killed him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺwas informed of this, he became angry. The sons of Abu Bakr and Umar interceded on behalf of the killers to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. In the evening, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among the people and praised Allah for what was fitting. Then he said, "Indeed, Allah has made Makkah forbidden and did not make it permissible for the people. He allowed it for me for a brief time during the day, then it became forbidden as Allah had initially made it forbidden. Indeed, the worst of people in the sight of Allah are three: a man who kills someone within the sanctuary, a man who kills someone other than his killer, and a man who seeks the protection of the pre-Islamic era. By Allah, I will carry out the penalty for this man whom you have found guilt in." Abu Shuraih said, "May Allah protect the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
