صحيح البخاري 4086

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a Sariya of spies and appointed `Asim bin Thabit, the grandfather of `Asim bin `Umar bin Al-Khattab, as their leader. So they set out, and when they reached (a place) between 'Usfan and Mecca, they were mentioned to one of the branch tribes of Bani Hudhail called Lihyan. So, about one-hundred archers followed their traces till they (i.e. the archers) came to a journey station where they (i.e. `Asim and his companions) had encamped and found stones of dates they had brought as journey food from Medina. The archers said, "These are the dates of Medina," and followed their traces till they took them over. When `Asim and his companions were not able to go ahead, they went up a high place, and their pursuers encircled them and said, "You have a covenant and a promise that if you come down to us, we will not kill anyone of you." `Asim said, "As for me, I will never come down on the security of an infidel. O Allah! Inform Your Prophet about us." So they fought with them till they killed `Asim along with seven of his companions with arrows, and there remained Khubaib, Zaid and another man to whom they gave a promise and a covenant. So when the infidels gave them the covenant and promise, they came down. When they captured them, they opened the strings of their arrow bows and tied them with it. The third man who was with them said, "This is the first breach in the covenant," and refused to accompany them. They dragged him and tried to make him accompany them, but he refused, and they killed him. Then they proceeded on taking Khubaib and Zaid till they sold them in Mecca. The sons of Al-Harith bin `Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin `Amr on the day of Badr. Khubaib stayed with them for a while as a captive till they decided unanimously to kill him. (At that time) Khubaib borrowed a razor from one of the daughters of Al- Harith to shave his pubic hair. She gave it to him. She said later on, "I was heedless of a little baby of mine, who moved towards Khubaib, and when it reached him, he put it on his thigh. When I saw it, I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed my distress while he was carrying the razor in his hand. He said 'Are you afraid that I will kill it? Allah willing, I will never do that,' " Later on she used to say, "I have never seen a captive better than Khubaib Once I saw him eating from a bunch of grapes although at that time no fruits were available at Mecca, and he was fettered with iron chains, and in fact, it was nothing but food bestowed upon him by Allah." So they took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him. He said, "Allow me to offer a two-rak`at prayer." Then he went to them and said, "Had I not been afraid that you would think I was afraid of death, I would have prayed for a longer time." So it was Khubaib who first set the tradition of praying two rak`at before being executed. He then said, "O Allah! Count them one by one," and added, 'When I am being martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's Sake, because this death is in Allah's Cause. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs." Then `Uqba bin Al-Harith got up and martyred him. The narrator added: The Quraish (infidels) sent some people to `Asim in order to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for `Asim had killed one of their chiefs on the day of Badr. But Allah sent a cloud of wasps which protected his body from their messengers who could not harm his body consequently

Rapporté par Abu Huraira : Le Prophète (ﷺ) envoya un groupe d’espions et nomma `Asim bin Thabit, le grand-père de `Asim bin `Umar bin Al-Khattab, comme chef. Ils partirent et, arrivés entre ‘Usfan et La Mecque, ils furent signalés à une branche de la tribu des Bani Hudhail appelée Lihyan. Environ cent archers suivirent leurs traces jusqu’à une halte où ils trouvèrent des noyaux de dattes qu’ils avaient apportées de Médine. Les archers dirent : « Ce sont des dattes de Médine », et continuèrent à les suivre jusqu’à les rattraper. Quand `Asim et ses compagnons ne purent plus avancer, ils montèrent sur un endroit élevé, et leurs poursuivants les encerclèrent et dirent : « Nous vous donnons notre parole que si vous descendez, aucun de vous ne sera tué. » `Asim répondit : « Pour ma part, je ne descendrai jamais sous la protection d’un mécréant. Ô Allah ! Informe Ton Prophète de notre sort. » Ils se battirent alors jusqu’à ce que `Asim et sept de ses compagnons soient tués par des flèches. Il restait Khubaib, Zaid et un autre homme à qui ils avaient promis la sécurité. Quand les mécréants leur donnèrent leur parole, ils descendirent. Une fois capturés, ils les lièrent avec les cordes de leurs arcs. Le troisième homme dit : « Voilà la première trahison de votre engagement », et refusa de les suivre. Ils le traînèrent, essayèrent de le forcer, mais il refusa et ils le tuèrent. Ensuite, ils emmenèrent Khubaib et Zaid à La Mecque et les vendirent. Les fils d’Al-Harith bin `Amr bin Naufal achetèrent Khubaib, car il avait tué Al-Harith bin `Amr lors de Badr. Khubaib resta prisonnier chez eux jusqu’à ce qu’ils décident de le tuer. À ce moment-là, Khubaib demanda un rasoir à l’une des filles d’Al-Harith pour se raser les poils pubiens. Elle le lui donna. Plus tard, elle raconta : « J’étais distraite par mon bébé qui s’approcha de Khubaib. Quand il l’eut sur sa cuisse, j’eus très peur, et Khubaib remarqua ma crainte alors qu’il tenait le rasoir. Il dit : “As-tu peur que je le tue ? Par Allah, je ne ferai jamais cela.” » Plus tard, elle disait : « Je n’ai jamais vu un prisonnier meilleur que Khubaib. Un jour, je l’ai vu manger une grappe de raisin alors qu’il n’y avait aucun fruit à La Mecque, et il était enchaîné. C’était une nourriture donnée par Allah. » Ils le sortirent alors du Sanctuaire pour le tuer. Il demanda : « Laissez-moi faire deux unités de prière. » Puis il leur dit : « Si je n’avais pas eu peur que vous pensiez que je crains la mort, j’aurais prié plus longtemps. » C’est ainsi que Khubaib fut le premier à instaurer la prière de deux unités avant d’être exécuté. Il dit ensuite : « Ô Allah ! Compte-les un par un. » Et il ajouta : « Tant que je meurs en musulman pour Allah, peu importe la manière dont je suis tué, car c’est pour Allah. S’Il le veut, Il bénira même mes membres coupés. » Puis `Uqba bin Al-Harith se leva et le tua. Le narrateur ajouta : Les Quraysh envoyèrent des gens pour rapporter une partie du corps de `Asim afin de confirmer sa mort, car il avait tué un de leurs chefs à Badr. Mais Allah envoya un essaim de guêpes qui protégea son corps, et ils ne purent rien lui faire
