Sunan Abi Dawud 3002 (Book 20, Hadith 75) #23292
Victory Over Non-Believers

SUMMARY: Victory over non-believers should be met with violence.

Narrated Muhayyisah: The Messenger of Allah said: If you gain a victory over the men of Jews, kill them. So Muhayyisah jumped over Shubaybah, a man of the Jewish merchants. He had close relations with them. He then killed him. At that time Hawayyisah (brother of Muhayyisah) had not embraced Islam. He was older than Muhayyisah. When he killed him, Hawayyisah beat him and said: O enemy of Allah, I swear by Allah, you have a good deal of fat in your belly from his property.
حَدَّثَنَا مُصَرِّفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلًى، لِزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ حَدَّثَتْنِي ابْنَةُ مُحَيِّصَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، مُحَيِّصَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ ظَفِرْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْ رِجَالِ يَهُودَ فَاقْتُلُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَوَثَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ عَلَى شَبِيبَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ تُجَّارِ يَهُودَ كَانَ يُلاَبِسُهُمْ فَقَتَلَهُ وَكَانَ حُوَيِّصَةُ إِذْ ذَاكَ لَمْ يُسْلِمْ وَكَانَ أَسَنَّ مِنْ مُحَيِّصَةَ فَلَمَّا قَتَلَهُ جَعَلَ حُوَيِّصَةُ يَضْرِبُهُ وَيَقُولُ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَرُبَّ شَحْمٍ فِي بَطْنِكَ مِنْ مَالِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Obey Allah’s commands even if it means going against your own family members or those you are close to .
EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith speaks of a situation in which the Muslims were victorious over the Jews. In this case, it was commanded that they should kill them. Muhayyisah acted upon this command and killed Shubaybah, a man of Jewish merchants who had close relations with them. His brother Hawayyisah, who had not yet embraced Islam at that time, beat him and said that he must have gained wealth from Shubaybah's property. This hadith teaches us to be obedient to Allah's commands even if it means going against our own family members or those we are close to. It also teaches us that when we are victorious over non-believers, we should use violence as a form of punishment for their actions against us and our faith.
