حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ جَارِيَةَ الثَّقَفِيُّحَلِيفُ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَشَرَةً عَيْنًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَاصِمَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَنَفَرُوا لَهُمْ هُذَيْلٌ بِقَرِيبٍ مِنْ مِائَةِ رَجُلٍ رَامٍ فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ بِهِمْ عَاصِمٌ لَجَئُوا إِلَى قَرْدَدٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ انْزِلُوا فَأَعْطُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الْعَهْدُ وَالْمِيثَاقُ أَنْ لَا نَقْتُلَ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا أَنْزِلُ فِي ذِمَّةِ كَافِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَمَوْهُمْ بِالنَّبْلِ فَقَتَلُوا عَاصِمًا فِي سَبْعَةِ نَفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ عَلَى الْعَهْدِ وَالْمِيثَاقِ مِنْهُمْ خُبَيْبٌ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ الدَّثِنَةِ وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا اسْتَمْكَنُوا مِنْهُمْ أَطْلَقُوا أَوْتَارَ قِسِيِّهِمْ فَرَبَطُوهُمْ بِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ الثَّالِثُ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا أَوَّلُ الْغَدْرِ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَصْحَبُكُمْ إِنَّ لِي بِهَؤُلَاءِ لَأُسْوَةً فَجَرُّوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَى أَنْ يَصْحَبَهُمْ فَقَتَلُوهُ فَلَبِثَ خُبَيْبٌ أَسِيرًا حَتَّى أَجْمَعُوا قَتْلَهُ فَاسْتَعَارَ مُوسَى يَسْتَحِدُّ بِهَا فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا بِهِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لَهُمْ خُبَيْبٌ:‏‏‏‏ دَعُونِي أَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ تَحْسَبُوا مَا بِي جَزَعًا لَزِدْتُ .

“The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent ten persons (on an expedition) and appointed Asim bin Thabit رضی اللہ عنہ their commander. About one hundred men of Hudhail who were archers came out to (attack) them. When Asim رضی اللہ عنہ felt their presence, they took cover in a hillock. They aid to them “Come down and surrender and we make a covenant and pact with you that we shall not kill any of you”. Asim رضی اللہ عنہ said “I do not come to the protection of a disbeliever. Then they shot them with arrows and killed Asim رضی اللہ عنہ in a company of seven persons. The other three persons came down to their covenant and pact. They were Khubaib رضی اللہ عنہ , Zaid bin Al Lathnah and another man. When they overpowered them, they untied their bow strings and tied them with them”. The third person said “This is the first treachery. I swear by Allaah, I shall not accompany you. In them (my companions) is an example for me. They pulled him, but he refused to accompany them, so they killed him. Khubaib remained their captive until they agreed to kill him. He asked for a razor to shave his pubes. When they brought him outside to kill him. Khubaib رضی اللہ عنہ said to them “Let me offer two rak’ahs of prayer”. He then said “I swear by Allah, if you did not think that I did this out of fear. I would have increased (the number of rak’ahs).
