We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Khaybar when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said about one of the men with him who claimed to be a Muslim, "This man is among the people of the Fire."When the fighting began, the man fought fiercely and sustained many wounds, which left him gravely injured. One of the Prophet's companions came and said, "Messenger of Allah, what do you say about the man you mentioned was among the people of the Fire? He has fought fiercely in the cause of Allah and has sustained many wounds."The Prophet ﷺ replied, "He is indeed among the people of the Fire."Some of the Muslims were on the verge of doubting, but while they were in that state, the man, overcome by the pain of his wounds, reached for his quiver, drew out an arrow, and killed himself with it.Some men from among the Muslims rushed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, Allah has confirmed the truth of what you said. So-and-so has killed himself, taking his own life."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Bilal, stand up and announce that none shall enter Paradise except a believer, and that Allah may indeed support this religion through a wicked man."
حدثنا حبان بن موسى أخبرنا عبد الله أخبرنا معمر عن الزهري عن سعيد بن المسيب
شهدنا مع رسول الله ﷺ خيبر فقال رسول الله ﷺ لرجل ممن معه يدعي الإسلام هذا من أهل النار فلما حضر القتال قاتل الرجل من أشد القتال وكثرت به الجراح فأثبتته فجاء رجل من أصحاب النبي ﷺ فقال يا رسول الله أرأيت الرجل الذي تحدثت أنه من أهل النار قد قاتل في سبيل الله من أشد القتال فكثرت به الجراح فقال النبي ﷺ أما إنه من أهل النار فكاد بعض المسلمين يرتاب فبينما هو على ذلك إذ وجد الرجل ألم الجراح فأهوى بيده إلى كنانته فانتزع منها سهما فانتحر بها فاشتد رجال من المسلمين إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقالوا يا رسول الله صدق الله حديثك قد انتحر فلان فقتل نفسه فقال رسول الله ﷺ يا بلال قم فأذن لا يدخل الجنة إلا مؤمن وإن الله ليؤيد هذا الدين بالرجل الفاجر
