The brave fighter who killed himself in battle due to intense pain and was of the people of Hellfire

bukhari:6606Ḥibbān b. Mūsá > ʿAbdullāh > Maʿmar > al-Zuhrī > Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab > Abū Hurayrah

We witnessed along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Khaibar (campaign). Messenger of Allah ﷺ told his companions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, "This man is from the people of the Fire." When the battle started, the man fought very bravely and received a great number of wounds and got crippled. On that, a man from among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you know what the man you described as of the people of the Fire has done? He has fought very bravely for Allah's Cause and he has received many wounds." The Prophet ﷺ said, "But he is indeed one of the people of the Fire." Some of the Muslims were about to have some doubt about that statement. So while the man was in that state, the pain caused by the wounds troubled him so much that he put his hand into his quiver and took out an arrow and committed suicide with it. Off went some men from among the Muslims to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Allah has made your statement true. So-and-so has committed suicide." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Bilal! Get up and announce in public: None will enter Paradise but a believer, and Allah may support this religion (Islam) with a wicked man."

as follows in Hadith 297. Narrated Abu Huraira: We were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a Ghazwa, and he remarked about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, saying, "This (man) is from the people of the (Hell) Fire." When the battle started, the man fought violently till he got wounded. Somebody said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The man whom you described as being from the people of the (Hell) Fire fought violently today and died." The Prophet ﷺ said, "He will go to the (Hell) Fire." Some people were on the point of doubting (the truth of what the Prophet had said) while they were in this state, suddenly someone said that he was still alive but severely wounded. When night fell, he lost patience and committed suicide. The Prophet ﷺ was informed of that, and he said, "Allah is Greater! I testify that I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." Then he ordered Bilal to announce amongst the people: 'None will enter Paradise but a Muslim, and Allah may support this religion (i.e. Islam) even with a disobedient man.'

We witnessed (the battle of) Khaibar. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said about one of those who were with him and who claimed to be a Muslim. "This (man) is from the dwellers of the Hell-Fire." When the battle started, that fellow fought so violently and bravely that he received plenty of wounds. Some of the people were about to doubt (the Prophet's statement), but the man, feeling the pain of his wounds, put his hand into his quiver and took out of it, some arrows with which he slaughtered himself (i.e. committed suicide). Then some men amongst the Muslims came hurriedly and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allah has made your statement true so-and-so has committed suicide. "The Prophet ﷺ said, "O so-and-so! Get up and make an announcement that none but a believer will enter Paradise and that Allah may support the religion with an unchaste (evil) wicked man.

We participated in the Battle of Hunain along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He (the Holy Prophet) said about a man who claimed to be a Muslim that he was one of the denizens of the Fire (of Hell). When we were in the thick of the battle that man fought desperately and was wounded. It was said: Messenger of Allah, the person whom you at first called as the denizen of Fire fought desperately and died. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remarked: He was doomed to the Fire (of Hell). Some men were on the verge of doubt (about his fate) when it was said that he was not dead but fatally wounded. When it was night he could not stand the (pain of his) wound and killed himself. The Apostle ﷺ was informed of that. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Allah is Great, I bear testimony to the fact that I am the servant of Allah and His messenger. He then commanded Bilal to announce to the people that none but a Muslim would enter Paradise. Verily Allah helps this faith even by a sinful person.

[Machine] He informed him that some of those who witnessed the Prophet ﷺ at the Battle of Khaybar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man from among his companions, "Indeed, this man is from the people of the Hellfire." When the fighting began, the man fought with utmost strength until he was wounded by many wounds. Some men from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ approached him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about the man whom you mentioned is from the people of Hellfire? By Allah, he fought in the way of Allah with great strength and sustained many wounds." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, he is from the people of Hellfire." Some people started to doubt, but as they were discussing, the man felt the pain of his wounds and leaned on his sword. He took an arrow from its quiver and killed himself with it. Hearing this, a Muslim man rushed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Prophet of Allah, Allah has proven your statement true. So-and-so has committed suicide."

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ at Hunayn when he said about a man who claimed to be Muslim, "He is from the people of the Fire." When the battle began, the man fought fiercely and was wounded. It was said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, the man you said is from the people of the Fire, today fought fiercely and died." The Prophet ﷺ said, "He will be in the Fire." Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ almost doubted it. While they were in this state, it was said to them, "He did not die, but he has severe wounds." When night fell, he could not bear the pain of his wounds and killed himself. The Prophet ﷺ was informed about this, and he said, "Allah is the Greatest! I bear witness that I am the slave of Allah and His Messenger." Then he ordered Bilal to call out to the people, "None shall enter Paradise except a Muslim soul, and indeed Allah supports His religion with a sinful person."

We witnessed along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Khaibar (campaign). Messenger of Allah ﷺ told his companions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, "This man is from the people of the Fire." When the battle started, the man fought very bravely and received a great number of wounds and got crippled. On that, a man from among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you know what the man you described as of the people of the Fire has done? He has fought very bravely for Allah's Cause and he has received many wounds." The Prophet ﷺ said, "But he is indeed one of the people of the Fire." Some of the Muslims were about to have some doubt about that statement. So while the man was in that state, the pain caused by the wounds troubled him so much that he put his hand into his quiver and took out an arrow and committed suicide with it. Off went some men from among the Muslims to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Allah has made your statement true. So-and-so has committed suicide." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Bilal! Get up and announce in public: None will enter Paradise but a believer, and Allah may support this religion (Islam) with a wicked man."
