Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Ya'qub—who is Ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Qari, a tribe of the Arabs—narrated to us, from Abu Hazim, from Sahl ibn Sa'd al-Sa'idi, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, met the polytheists and they fought. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, withdrew to his camp and the others withdrew to their camp, there was among the companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, a man who did not leave any straggler of theirs without pursuing it and striking it with his sword. They said, "None of us has sufficed today as so-and-so has sufficed." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Indeed, he is among the people of the Fire." A man from the people said, "I will be his companion always." He said, so he went out with him; whenever he stopped, he stopped with him, and when he hastened, he hastened with him. He said, then the man was wounded with a severe wound, and he hastened death, placing the blade of his sword on the ground and its point between his chest, then he leaned upon his sword and killed himself. The man went out to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, "I bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah." He said, "And what is that?" The man said, "The man you mentioned earlier as being among the people of the Fire." The people were greatly struck by that, and I said, "I will bring him to you." So I went out in search of him until he was wounded with a severe wound, and he hastened death, placing the blade of his sword on the ground and its point between his chest, then he leaned upon it and killed himself. At that, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Indeed, a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise, as it appears to people, while he is among the people of the Fire, and indeed, a man may do the deeds of the people of the Fire, as it appears to people, while he is among the people of Paradise."
