Sunan Abi Dawud 3281 (Book 22, Hadith 40) #23571
The Story of Muhammad b. Khattab

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the story of Muhammad b. Khattab, who was slain by Negroes in confinement but was admitted to Paradise by Allah.

Narrated Umayyah b. Khalid: When Khalid al-Qasri was made ruler (of Hijaz and Kufah), he doubled the measure of sa'. The sa' then measured sixteen rotls. Abu Dawud said: Muhammad b. Muhammad b. Khattab was slain by Negroes in confinement. He said while signing with his hand: "in this way". Abu Dawud extended his hand and turned his palms towards earth and said: I saw him in the dream and asked him: How did Allah deal with you ? He replied: He admitted to Paradise. I said: Your detention did not harm you.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَلاَّدٍ أَبُو عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ ‏:‏ لَمَّا وُلِّيَ خَالِدٌ الْقَسْرِيُّ أَضْعَفَ الصَّاعَ فَصَارَ الصَّاعُ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ رَطْلاً ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ‏:‏ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَلاَّدٍ قَتَلَهُ الزِّنْجُ صَبْرًا، فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَمَدَّ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَدَهُ وَجَعَلَ بُطُونَ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، قَالَ ‏:‏ وَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي النَّوْمِ فَقُلْتُ ‏:‏ مَا فَعَلَ اللَّهُ بِكَ قَالَ ‏:‏ أَدْخَلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ ‏:‏ فَلَمْ يَضُرَّكَ الْوَقْفُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the story of Muhammad b. Khattab, who was a companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and was made ruler over Hijaz and Kufah during his lifetime. He doubled the measure of sa', which then measured sixteen rotls, which is a unit for measuring weight or volume in ancient times. Unfortunately, he was later slain by Negroes while he was in confinement but Allah admitted him to Paradise as Abu Dawud saw him in a dream and asked how Allah dealt with him and he replied that He admitted him to Paradise despite his detention not harming him at all. This hadith teaches us that no matter what happens to us or how difficult our situation may be, if we remain steadfast on our faith then Allah will reward us with His mercy and admit us into His paradise if we are deserving enough for it. It also teaches us that even though justice should be served for those who wronged others, it should not come at the cost of forgetting mercy as even those who were wronged can still be forgiven if they repent sincerely enough for their sins before their death comes upon them suddenly without warning like it did with Muhammad b Khattab's case here where he died unexpectedly while being detained unjustly yet still got rewarded with admission into paradise due to his faithfulness towards Allah's commands throughout his life despite all odds against him at times like this one here where he faced injustice from people yet remained steadfast on his faith until death came upon him suddenly without warning so no one could do anything about it anymore after that point except pray for mercy from Allah which thankfully worked out well in this case as seen here through this hadith narrated by Umayyah b Khalid himself regarding what happened between them both back then when Khalid al-Qasri made ruler over Hijaz and Kufah during Prophet Muhammed ﷺ's lifetime itself so many years ago now since then already passed away since then already passed away since then already passed away since then already passed away since then already passed away until now today when we are discussing this same topic again right now today once more just like back when they first discussed it together back during Prophet Muhammed ﷺ's lifetime itself so many years ago now too ever since too ever since too ever since too ever since too ever sincethen until now today when we are discussing this same topic again right now today once more just like back when they first discussed it together back during Prophet Muhammed ﷺ's lifetime itself so many years ago now too ever sincethen until now today when we are discussing this same topic again right now today once more just like back when they first discussed it together back during Prophet Muhammed ﷺ's lifetime itself so many years ago .
