Sahih al-Bukhari 7120 (Book 97, Hadith 31)
‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Iyad told me that the daughter of Al-Harith told him that when they gathered (to kill
Khubaib Al Ansari) he asked for a razor to clean his pubic region, and when they had taken him
outside the sanctuary of Mecca in order to kill him, he said in verse, “I don’t care if I am killed as a
Muslim, on any side (of my body) I may be killed in Allah’s Cause; for that is for the sake of Allah’s
very Self; and if He will, He will bestow His Blessings upon the torn pieces of my body.” Then Ibn
Al-Harith killed him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) informed his companions of the death of those (ten men) on the
very day they were killed.
وَلَسْتُ أُبَالِي حِينَ أُقْتَلُ مُسْلِمًا ** عَلَى أَيِّ شِقٍّ كَانَ لِلَّهِ مَصْرَعِي
وَذَلِكَ فِي ذَاتِ الإِلَهِ وَإِنْ يَشَأْ ** يُبَارِكْ عَلَى أَوْصَالِ شِلْوٍ مُمَزَّعِ
فَقَتَلَهُ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ فَأَخْبَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَصْحَابَهُ خَبَرَهُمْ يَوْمَ أُصِيبُوا.
Sahih al-Bukhari 7120 (Book 97, Hadith 31)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Among the six canonical hadith collections of Sunni Islam, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, Sahih al-Bukhari is frequently accorded the highest rank. This esteemed status is a testament to the rigorous scholarly methods employed by its compiler, Muḥammad al-Bukhārī, who finished his work around 847. The collection is vast, containing an estimated 7,563 individual reports detailing the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. These are carefully categorized into 97 chapters, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding Islamic doctrine, law, and spiritual practice.
