Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the pagans faced each other and started fighting. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to his camp and when the pagans returned to their camp, somebody talked about a man amongst the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ who would follow and kill with his sword any pagan going alone. He said, "Nobody did his job (i.e. fighting) so properly today as that man." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, he is amongst the people of the (Hell) Fire." A man amongst the people said, "I shall accompany him (to watch what he does)" Thus he accompanied him, and wherever he stood, he would stand with him, and wherever he ran, he would run with him. Then the (brave) man got wounded seriously and he decided to bring about his death quickly. He planted the blade of the sword in the ground directing its sharp end towards his chest between his two breasts. Then he leaned on the sword and killed himself. The other man came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I testify that you are Messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What has happened?" He replied, "(It is about) the man whom you had described as one of the people of the (Hell) Fire. The people were greatly surprised at what you said, and I said, 'I will find out his reality for you.' So, I came out seeking him. He got severely wounded, and hastened to die by slanting the blade of his sword in the ground directing its sharp end towards his chest between his two breasts. Then he eased on his sword and killed himself." when Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man may seem to the people as if he were practising the deeds of the people of Paradise while in fact he is from the people of the Hell) Fire, another may seem to the people as if he were practicing the deeds of the people of Hell (Fire), while in fact he is from the people of Paradise."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْتَقَى هُوَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ فَاقْتَتَلُوا فَلَمَّا مَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى عَسْكَرِهِ وَمَالَ الآخَرُونَ إِلَى عَسْكَرِهِمْ وَفِي أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ لاَ يَدَعُ لَهُمْ شَاذَّةً وَلاَ فَاذَّةً إِلاَّ اتَّبَعَهَا يَضْرِبُهَا بِسَيْفِهِ فَقَالَ مَا أَجْزَأَ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ كَمَا أَجْزَأَ فُلاَنٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَنَا صَاحِبُهُ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ كُلَّمَا وَقَفَ وَقَفَ مَعَهُ وَإِذَا أَسْرَعَ أَسْرَعَ مَعَهُ قَالَ فَجُرِحَ الرَّجُلُ جُرْحًا شَدِيدًا فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَوَضَعَ نَصْلَ سَيْفِهِ بِالأَرْضِ وَذُبَابَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَحَامَلَ عَلَى سَيْفِهِ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتَ آنِفًا أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَأَعْظَمَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا لَكُمْ بِهِ فَخَرَجْتُ فِي طَلَبِهِ ثُمَّ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا شَدِيدًا فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَوَضَعَ نَصْلَ سَيْفِهِ فِي الأَرْضِ وَذُبَابَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَحَامَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَهْوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَهْوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ (and his army) encountered the pagans and the two armies.,, fought and then Allah's Apostle returned to his army camps and the others (i.e. the enemy) returned to their army camps. Amongst the companions of the Prophet ﷺ there was a man who could not help pursuing any single isolated pagan to strike him with his sword. Somebody said, "None has benefited the Muslims today more than so-and-so." On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He is from the people of the Hell-Fire certainly." A man amongst the people (i.e. Muslims) said, "I will accompany him (to know the fact)." So he went along with him, and whenever he stopped he stopped with him, and whenever he hastened, he hastened with him. The (brave) man then got wounded severely, and seeking to die at once, he planted his sword into the ground and put its point against his chest in between his breasts, and then threw himself on it and committed suicide. On that the person (who was accompanying the deceased all the time) came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why is that (what makes you say so)?" He said "It is concerning the man whom you have already mentioned as one of the dwellers of the Hell-Fire. The people were surprised by your statement, and I said to them, "I will try to find out the truth about him for you." So I went out after him and he was then inflicted with a severe wound and because of that, he hurried to bring death upon himself by planting the handle of his sword into the ground and directing its tip towards his chest between his breasts, and then he threw himself over it and committed suicide." Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "A man may do what seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise but he is from the dwellers of the Hell-Fire and another may do what seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of the Hell- Fire, but he is from the dwellers of Paradise."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْتَقَى هُوَ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ فَاقْتَتَلُوا فَلَمَّا مَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى عَسْكَرِهِ وَمَالَ الآخَرُونَ إِلَى عَسْكَرِهِمْ وَفِي أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ لاَ يَدَعُ لَهُمْ شَاذَّةً وَلاَ فَاذَّةً إِلاَّ اتَّبَعَهَا يَضْرِبُهَا بِسَيْفِهِ فَقِيلَ مَا أَجْزَأَ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ كَمَا أَجْزَأَ فُلاَنٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَنَا صَاحِبُهُ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ كُلَّمَا وَقَفَ وَقَفَ مَعَهُ وَإِذَا أَسْرَعَ أَسْرَعَ مَعَهُ قَالَ فَجُرِحَ الرَّجُلُ جُرْحًا شَدِيدًا فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَوَضَعَ سَيْفَهُ بِالأَرْضِ وَذُبَابَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَحَامَلَ عَلَى سَيْفِهِ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتَ آنِفًا أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَأَعْظَمَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا لَكُمْ بِهِ فَخَرَجْتُ فِي طَلَبِهِ ثُمَّ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا شَدِيدًا فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَوَضَعَ نَصْلَ سَيْفِهِ فِي الأَرْضِ وَذُبَابَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَحَامَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَهْوَ مِنَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَهْوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

During one of his Ghazawat, the Prophet ﷺ encountered the pagans, and the two armies fought, and then each of them returned to their army camps. Amongst the (army of the) Muslims there was a man who would follow every pagan separated from the army and strike him with his sword. It was said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! None has fought so satisfactorily as so-and-so (namely, that brave Muslim). "The Prophet said, "He is from the dwellers of the Hell-Fire." The people said, "Who amongst us will be of the dwellers of Paradise if this (man) is from the dwellers of the Hell-Fire?" Then a man from amongst the people said, "I will follow him and accompany him in his fast and slow movements." The (brave) man got wounded, and wanting to die at once, he put the handle of his sword on the ground and its tip in between his breasts, and then threw himself over it, committing suicide. Then the man (who had watched the deceased) returned to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I testify that you are Apostle of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is this?" The man told him the whole story. The Prophet ﷺ said, "A man may do what may seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise, but he is of the dwellers of the Hell-Fire and a man may do what may seem to the people as the deeds of the dwellers of the Hell-Fire, but he is from the dwellers of Paradise."

الْتَقَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَاقْتَتَلُوا فَمَالَ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ إِلَى عَسْكَرِهِمْ وَفِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَجُلٌ لاَ يَدَعُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ شَاذَّةً وَلاَ فَاذَّةً إِلاَّ اتَّبَعَهَا فَضَرَبَهَا بِسَيْفِهِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَجْزَأَ أَحَدُهُمْ مَا أَجْزَأَ فُلاَنٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالُوا أَيُّنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ لأَتَّبِعَنَّهُ فَإِذَا أَسْرَعَ وَأَبْطَأَ كُنْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى جُرِحَ فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَوَضَعَ نِصَابَ سَيْفِهِ بِالأَرْضِ وَذُبَابَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَحَامَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَهْوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

There was a man who fought most bravely of all the Muslims on behalf of the Muslims in a battle (Ghazwa) in the company of the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ looked at him and said. "If anyone would like to see a man from the people of the Fire, let him look at this (brave man)." On that, a man from the People (Muslims) followed him, and he was in that state i.e., fighting fiercely against the pagans till he was wounded, and then he hastened to end his life by placing his sword between his breasts (and pressed it with great force) till it came out between his shoulders. Then the man (who was watching that person) went quickly to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I testify that you are Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Why do you say that?" He said, "You said about so-and-so, 'If anyone would like to see a man from the people of the Fire, he should look at him.' He fought most bravely of all of us on behalf of the Muslims and I knew that he would not die as a Muslim (Martyr). So when he got wounded, he hastened to die and committed suicide." There-upon the Prophet ﷺ said, "A man may do the deeds of the people of the Fire while in fact he is one of the people of Paradise, and he may do the deeds of the people of Paradise while in fact he belongs to the people of Fire, and verily, (the rewards of) the deeds are decided by the last actions (deeds)".

عَنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا فَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَهْوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى جُرِحَ فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَجَعَلَ ذُبَابَةَ سَيْفِهِ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْنِ كَتِفَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُسْرِعًا فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ قُلْتَ لِفُلاَنٍ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِنَا غَنَاءً عَنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَمُوتُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا جُرِحَ اسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالْخَوَاتِيمِ

None served us better today than this man Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remarked: Verily he is one of the denizens of Fire. One of the people (Muslims) said: I will constantly shadow him. Then this man went out along with him. He halted whenever he halted, and ran along with him whenever he ran. He (the narrator) said: The man was seriously injured. He (could not stand the pain) and hastened his own death. He placed the blade of the sword on the ground with the tip between his chest and then pressed himself against the sword and killed himself. Then the man (following him) went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I bear testimony that verily thou art the Messenger of Allah, He (the Holy Prophet) said: What is the matter? He replied: The person about whom you just mentioned that he was one among the denizens of Fire and the people were surprised (at this) and I said to them that I would bring (the news about him) and consequently I went out in search of him till I (found him ) to be very seriously injured. He hastened his death. He placed the blade of the sword upon the ground and its tip between his chest and then pressed himself against that and killed himself. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remarked: A person performs the deeds which to the people appear to be the deeds befitting the dweller of Paradise, but he is in fact one of the denizens of Hell. And verily a person does an act which in the eyes of public is one which is done by the denizens of Hell, but the person is one among the dwellers of Paradise.

[AI] There was a man with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in some of his expeditions. He faced a severe trial but Muslim astonishment at his trial. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, he is from the people of Hell." We said, "He was fighting in the cause of Allah with the Messenger of Allah. Allah and His Messenger know best." He then inflicted a wound upon himself, and when the wound worsened, he placed his sword between his chest and leaned on it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about the man and it was said to him, "The man whom you said what you said about, I have seen him taking his own life while the sword is between his chest." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Verily, the man is doing the deeds of the people of Paradise while it appears to people that he is doing the deeds of the people of Hell. Verily, he is one of the people of Paradise."

(Using translation from Bukhārī 6607)

أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غَنَاءً عَنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا» فَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى جُرِحَ فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَأَخَذَ ذُبَابَ سَيْفِهِ فَجَعَلَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْنِ كَتِفَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُسْرِعًا فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا» وَكَانَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِنَا غَنَاءً عَنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَمُوتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا جُرِحَ اسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالْخَوَاتِيمِ»

[AI] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when we met the pagans, we fought them until we scattered and some of us were with them in the evening. Both groups were exhausted and tired, except for one man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ who didn't get tired or leave any enemies except that he killed them. The people were amazed by his patience, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever wants to see a man from the people of Hell, let him look at this man." A man from the people said, "By Allah, I will be the companion of someone like him until I see what will happen." He then got injured and became fearful of death. He took his sword and placed it against his chest and then leaned on it until it came out from his back. The man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him about it, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Truly, a person may do deeds apparent to the people in the world, which seem to be the deeds of the people of Paradise, while in fact, he is one of the people of Hell. Also, a person may do deeds apparent to the people in the world, which seem to be the deeds of the people of Hell, while in fact, he is one of the people of Paradise."

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا لَقِينَا الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَاتَلْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى تَفَرَّقْنَا وإِيَّاهُمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ وَكِلَا الْفَرِيقَيْنِ قَدْ أَعْيَى وَتَعِبَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَمْ يَمَلَّ وَلَمْ يَعْيَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَاذَّةً وَلَا فَاذَّةً لِلْقَوْمِ إِلَّا قَتَلَهَا فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْ صَبْرِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَاللهِ لَأَكُونَنَّ أَنَا صَاحِبَهُ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَا يَصِيرُ فَجُرِحَ فَجَزِعَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ فَأَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى كَبِدِهِ ثُمَّ اتَّكَأَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَنْفَذَهُ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِطَاعَةِ اللهِ ﷻ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمَكْتُوبٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِمَعاصِي اللهِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمَكْتُوبٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ»

" عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْمُسْلمينَ غَناءً عَنِ الْمُسْلِمينَ فِى غَزَاةٍ غزَاهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْه رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَن يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِن أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَليَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا، فَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَهُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ منْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكينَ حَتَّى جُرِحَ فَاسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ، فَجَعَلَ ذُبَابَةَ سَيْفِهِ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْنِ كَتِفَيْهِ، فَأَقْبَلَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِى كَانَ مَعَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ مُسْرِعًا، فَقَالَ: إِنِّى أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : مَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتَ: مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِنَا غَنَاءً عَنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقُلتُ: إِنَّهُ لاَ يَمُوتُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا جُرِح اسْتَعْجَلَ الْمَوْتَ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، وَيَعْمَل عَمَلَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّمَا الأعْمَالُ بِالْخَوَاتِيم ".
