Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a group of the Ansar to Abu Rafiʿ. ʿAbdullah bin Atik entered his house at night and killed him while he was sleeping.
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَهْطًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ إِلَى أَبِي رَافِعٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَتِيكٍ بَيْتَهُ لَيْلاً فَقَتَلَهُ وَهْوَ نَائِمٌ
