[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent a secret mission, and they obtained spoils of war. Among them was a man who said to them, "I am not one of you. I fell in love with a woman and followed her, so leave me to look at her, and then do what you see fit." Then, they found a tall woman with a long neck, and he said to her, "Accept Islam, my love lies in Al-Qabool (a place) before the provision runs out. What do you think if I followed you and caught up with you wearing jewels or found you with hawks? Was it right for a lover to strive in the secrets of the night and in narrow paths?" She said, "Yes, may you be redeemed." So they brought him forward and they killed him. Then, the woman came and fell upon him and let out a sigh or two, and then she died. When they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of the news, he said, "Was there not a compassionate man among you?"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً فَغَنِمُوا وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِنْهُمْ عَشِقْتُ امْرَأَةً فَلَحِقْتُها فَدَعُونِي أَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ اصْنَعُوا مَا بَدَا لَكُمْ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ أدماءُ فَقَالَ لَهَا اسْلَمِي حُبَيْشُ قَبْلَ نفادِ الْعَيْشِ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ تَبِعْتُكُمْ فَلَحِقْتُكُمْ بِحِلْيَةٍ أَوْ أَدْرَكْتُكُمْ بِالْخَوَانِقِ أَمَا كَانَ حَقٌّ أَنْ يَنولَ عاشِقٌ تَكَلَّفَ إِدْلاجَ السُّرَى وَالْوَدَائِقَ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَدَيْتُكَ قَالَ فَقَدَّمُوهُ فَضَرَبُوا عُنُقَهُ فَجَاءَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَوَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَشَهِقَتْ شَهْقَةً أَوْ شَهْقَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَاتَتْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرُوهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَا كَانَ فِيكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَحِيمٌ»
