Sunan Abi Dawud 2710 (Book 15, Hadith 234) #23000
Praying for Those Who Die in the Path of Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that a man who died in the path of Allah should be prayed for, even if he had misappropriated booty.

Narrated Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani: A man from the Companions of the Prophet died on the day of Khaybar. They mentioned the matter to the Messenger of Allah. He said: Offer prayer over your companion. When the faces of the people looked perplexed, he said: Your companion misappropriated booty in the path of Allah. We searched his belongings and found some Jewish beads not worth two Dirhams.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، وَبِشْرَ بْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَاهُمْ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ تُوُفِّيَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَتَغَيَّرَتْ وُجُوهُ النَّاسِ لِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ غَلَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَفَتَّشْنَا مَتَاعَهُ فَوَجَدْنَا خَرَزًا مِنْ خَرَزِ يَهُودَ لاَ يُسَاوِي دِرْهَمَيْنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that we should pray for those who die in the path of Allah, even if they have misappropriated something. The Prophet Muhammad was asked about a man from his companions who died on the day of Khaybar and it was mentioned to him. He said to offer prayer over him, and when people looked perplexed he explained that this man had misappropriated booty in the path of Allah. We can learn from this that no matter what someone has done wrong, we should still pray for them when they die as long as it is in the path of Allah. It is important to remember that everyone makes mistakes and we should not judge someone harshly because they have done something wrong; instead, we should show mercy and compassion towards them by praying for their soul after death.
