قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي جُنْدُبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَجِيلَةَ، قَالَ:
إِنِّي عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَ بَشِيرٌ مِنْ سَرِيَّةٍ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِنُصْرَةِ اللهِ تَعَالَى الَّذِي نَصَرَ سَرِيَّتَهُ، وَبِفَتْحِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الَّذِي فَتَحَ لَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بَيْنَا نَحْنُ نَطْلُبُ الْعَدُوَّ، وَقَدْ هَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى، إِذْ لَحِقْتُ رَجُلًا بِالسَّيْفِ، فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ أَنَّ السَّيْفَ وَاقَعَهُ، الْتَفَتَ وَهُوَ يَسْعَى، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ، فَقَتَلْتُهُ، وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مُتَعَوِّذًا، قَالَ ﷺ: أَلَا شَقَقْتَ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ، فَنَظَرْتَ صَادِقًا هُوَ أَوْ كَاذِبًا ؟، قَالَ: لَوْ شَقَقْتُ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ مَا كَانَ يُعْلِمُنِي، هَلْ قَلْبُهُ إِلَّا مُضْغَةٌ مِنْ لَحْمٍ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَنْتَ قَتَلْتَهُ، لَا مَا فِي قَلْبِهِ عَلِمْتَ، وَلَا لِسَانَهُ صَدَّقْتَ ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي، قَالَ ﷺ: لَا أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ فَمَاتَ، فَدَفَنُوهُ، فَأَصْبَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَوْمُهُ ذَلِكَ اسْتَحْيَوْا، وَحَذِرُوا ( مِمَّا لَقِيَ حِمْلُهُ ) فَأَلْقَوْهُ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الشِّعَابِ

✧ I was with the Prophet ﷺ when a bearer of good news came from a military expedition and informed him of the victory of Allah Almighty which He granted to his expedition, and of the conquest of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, which He opened for them. He said: O Messenger of Allah, while we were seeking the enemy, and Allah Almighty had defeated them, I caught up with a man with a sword. When he sensed that the sword had reached him, he turned while running and said: 'I am a Muslim,' so I killed him. But, O Prophet of Allah, he was only seeking protection. He ﷺ said: 'Did you not split open his heart to see whether he was truthful or lying?' He said: If I had split open his heart, it would not have informed me; is his heart anything but a lump of flesh? He said: 'So you killed him, not knowing what was in his heart, nor believing his tongue?' He said: O Messenger of Allah, ask forgiveness for me. He ﷺ said: 'I will not ask forgiveness for you.' Then he died, and they buried him, but he appeared on the surface of the earth three times. When his people saw that, they felt ashamed and feared (from what befell his burden), so they threw him into one of those mountain passes.
