The Prophet ﷺ was on one of his military expeditions, and Allah granted him victory and spoils. He said to his companions, "Do you find anyone missing?"They said, "Yes, so-and-so, and so-and-so, and so-and-so."Then he asked again, "Do you find anyone missing?"They said, "Yes, so-and-so, and so-and-so, and so-and-so."Then he asked once more, "Do you find anyone missing?"They said, "No."He said, "But I find Julaybib missing. Search for him."So they searched for him among the slain and found him beside seven men he had killed before they killed him. The Prophet ﷺ came and stood over him and said, "He killed seven, then they killed him. This one is from me and I am from him. This one is from me and I am from him."Then he placed him on his forearms, with nothing to carry him but the forearms of the Prophet ﷺ. A grave was dug for him and he was placed in it. No mention was made of washing him.
أن النبي ﷺ كان في مغزى له، فأفاء الله عليه، فقال لأصحابه: هل تفقدون من أحد؟ قالوا: نعم فلانا وفلانا وفلانا. ثم قال: هل تفقدون من أحد؟ قالوا: نعم فلانا وفلانا وفلانا. ثم قال: هل تفقدون من أحد؟ قالوا لا. قال: لكني أفقد جليبيبا، فاطلبوه. فطلب في القتلى، فوجدوه إلى جنب سبعة قد قتلهم، ثم قتلوه، فأتى النبي ﷺ فوقف عليه فقال: قتل سبعة ثم قتلوه، هذا مني وأنا منه، هذا مني وأنا منه. قال: فوضعه على ساعديه، ليس له إلا ساعدا النبي ﷺ. قال: فحفر له ووضع في قبره. ولم يذكر غسلا.
