[Machine] Furat bin Hayyan was a companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . The Prophet had ordered for his execution. Furat was a close associate of Abu Sufyan and an ally to him. He passed by a group of the Ansar (Muslims from Medina) and said, "I am a Muslim." One of them replied, "O Messenger of Allah, he claims to be a Muslim." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Amongst you, there are some individuals who openly show their faith to me, and Furat bin Hayyan is one of them."
عَنْ فُرَاتِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ وَكَانَ عَيْنًا لِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَحَلِيفًا فَمَرَّ عَلَى حَلْقَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُم يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يَقُولُ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ رِجَالًا يُظْهِرُ إِلَيَّ إِيمَانَهُمْ مِنْهُمُ الْفُرَاتُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ»
