Sahih al-Bukhari 7402 (Book 97, Hadith 31) #7108
Courage in Faith

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Khubaib Al-Ansari, one of the ten people sent by Allah's Messenger to bring the enemy's secrets. He was taken outside the sanctuary of Mecca and killed, but he showed courage and faith in Allah before his death.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger sent ten persons to bring the enemy's secrets and Khubaib Al-Ansari was one of them'.Ubaidullah bin 'Iyad told me that the daughter of Al-Harith told him that when they gathered (to kill Khubaib Al Ansari) he asked for a razor to clean his pubic region, and when they had taken him outside the sanctuary of Mecca in order to kill him, he said in verse, "I don't care if I am killed as a Muslim, on any side (of my body) I may be killed in Allah's Cause; for that is for the sake of Allah's very Self; and if He will, He will bestow His Blessings upon the torn pieces of my body". Then Ibn Al-Harith killed him, and the Prophet informed his companions of the death of those (ten men) on the very day they were killed.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَسِيدِ بْنِ جَارِيَةَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ـ حَلِيفٌ لِبَنِي زُهْرَةَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَشْرَةً مِنْهُمْ خُبَيْبٌ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، فَأَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ أَنَّ ابْنَةَ الْحَارِثِ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهُمْ حِينَ اجْتَمَعُوا اسْتَعَارَ مِنْهَا مُوسَى يَسْتَحِدُّ بِهَا، فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا مِنَ الْحَرَمِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ قَالَ خُبَيْبٌ الأَنْصَارِيُّ وَلَسْتُ أُبَالِي حِينَ أُقْتَلُ مُسْلِمًا ** عَلَى أَيِّ شِقٍّ كَانَ لِلَّهِ مَصْرَعِي وَذَلِكَ فِي ذَاتِ الإِلَهِ وَإِنْ يَشَأْ ** يُبَارِكْ عَلَى أَوْصَالِ شِلْوٍ مُمَزَّعِ فَقَتَلَهُ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ فَأَخْبَرَ النَّبِيُّ أَصْحَابَهُ خَبَرَهُمْ يَوْمَ أُصِيبُوا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Khubaib Al Ansari, one of the ten people sent by Allah's Messenger to bring the enemy's secrets. When they gathered to kill him, he asked for a razor to clean his pubic region and showed courage and faith in Allah before his death. He said that it did not matter how he was killed as long as it was for Allah’s cause. His sacrifice inspired others around him and even after his death, Prophet Muhammad informed his companions of their deaths on that day itself. This hadith teaches us that we should have courage when faced with difficult situations and have faith in God no matter what happens because our ultimate goal should be pleasing Him through our actions. We should also be willing to make sacrifices if necessary for His cause without hesitation or fear because He will reward us greatly for it both in this life and hereafter if we are sincere with Him.
