The Prophet's Order to Kill Ibn Akhtal

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad entered Makkah in the year of its conquest wearing a helmet and was informed that Ibn Akhtal was hanging with the curtains of the Kabah. He then ordered for him to be killed.

Anas bin Malik said "The Apostle of Allaah entered Makkah in the year of the conquest (of Makkah) wearing a helmet on his head. When he took off it a man came to him and said "Ibn Akhtal is hanging with the curtains of the Ka’bah". He said "Kill him". Abu Dawud said "The name of Ibn Akhtal is 'Abd Allaah and Abu Barzat Al Aslami killed him.
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمِغْفَرُ فَلَمَّا نَزَعَهُ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ ابْنُ خَطَلٍ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اقْتُلُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ابْنُ خَطَلٍ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيُّ قَتَلَهُ
