The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered Makkah in the year of the Conquest wearing a helmet on his head. When he removed it, a man came to him and said, "Ibn Khatal is clinging to the covering of the Kaabah."He said, "Kill him."Malik said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not in a state of ihram that day, and Allah knows best."
حدثنا عبد الرحمن: مالك عن ابن شهاب
أن رسول الله ﷺ دخل مكة عام الفتح وعلى رأسه المغفر فلما نزعه جاءه رجل وقال ابن خطل متعلق بأستار الكعبة فقال اقتلوه قال مالك ولم يكن رسول الله ﷺ يومئذ محرما والله أعلم
