Sahih Muslim, 279

Rapporté par Safwan b. Muhriz : Jundab b. ‘Abdullah al-Bajali, pendant les troubles sous Ibn Zubair, a envoyé un message à ‘As‘as b. Salama : « Rassemble quelques hommes de ta famille pour que je leur parle. » ‘As‘as a envoyé quelqu’un les chercher. Quand ils se sont réunis, Jundab est venu avec un manteau à capuche jaune. Il a dit : « Continuez votre discussion. » Chacun a parlé à son tour, puis ce fut son tour. Il a retiré sa capuche et a dit : « Je suis venu seulement pour vous rapporter un hadith de votre Prophète : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a envoyé un groupe de musulmans contre une tribu polythéiste. Les deux armées se sont affrontées. Un homme du camp polythéiste, chaque fois qu’il voulait tuer un musulman, le tuait. Parmi les musulmans, un homme guettait un moment d’inattention de cet homme. On a dit qu’il s’agissait d’Usama b. Zaid. Quand il a levé son épée, l’homme a dit : “Il n’y a de dieu qu’Allah”, mais Usama l’a tué. Quand le messager de la bonne nouvelle est venu voir le Prophète ﷺ, il l’a informé de ce qui s’était passé. Le Prophète ﷺ a convoqué Usama et lui a demandé pourquoi il l’avait tué. Usama a répondu : « Messager d’Allah, il a tué des musulmans, dont certains que j’ai nommés. Je l’ai attaqué, et quand il a vu l’épée, il a dit : “Il n’y a de dieu qu’Allah.” » Le Prophète ﷺ a dit : « Tu l’as tué ? » Usama a répondu oui. Le Prophète ﷺ a dit : « Que feras-tu de “Il n’y a de dieu qu’Allah” quand il viendra devant toi au Jour du Jugement ? » Usama a dit : « Messager d’Allah, demande pardon pour moi. » Le Prophète ﷺ a répété : « Que feras-tu de “Il n’y a de dieu qu’Allah” quand il viendra devant toi au Jour du Jugement ? » Il n’a rien ajouté d’autre, répétant seulement : « Que feras-tu de “Il n’y a de dieu qu’Allah” quand il viendra devant toi au Jour du Jugement ? »

It is narrated by Safwan b. Muhriz that Jundab b. 'Abdullah al-Bajali during the stormy days of Ibn Zubair sent a message to 'As'as b. Salama:Gather some men of your family so that I should talk to them. He ('As'as) sent a messenger to them (to the members of his family). When they had assembled, Jundab came there with a yellow hooded cloak on him, He said: Talk what you were busy in talking. The talk went on by turns, till there came his (Jundab's) turn. He took off the hooded cloak from his head and said: I have come to you with no other intention but to narrate to you a hadith of your Apostle: Verily the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent a squad of the Muslims to a tribe of the polytheists. Both the armies confronted one another. There was a man among the army of polytheists who (was so dashing that), whenever he intended to kill a man from among the Muslims, he killed him. Amongst the Muslims too was a man looking forward to (an opportunity of) his (the polytheist's) unmindfulness. He (the narrator) said: We talked that he was Usama b, Zaid. When he raised his sword, he (the soldier of the polytheists) uttered:" There is no god but Allah," but he (Usama b. Zaid) killed him. When the messenger of the glad tidings came to the Apostle (ﷺ) he asked him (about the events of the battle) and he informed him about the man (Usama) and what he had done He (the Prophet of Allah) called for him and asked him why he had killed him. He (Usama) said: Messenger of Allah, he struck the Muslims and killed such and such of them. And he even named some of them. (He continued): I attacked him and when he saw the sword he said: There is no god but Allah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Did you kill him? He (Usama) replied in the affirmative. He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: What would you do with:" There is no god but Allah," when he would come (before you) on the Day of Judgment? He (Usama) said: Messenger of Allah, beg pardon for me (from your Lord). He (the Holy Prophet) said: What would you do with:" There is no god but Allah" when he would come (before you) on the Day of Judgment? He (the Holy Prophet) added nothing to it but kept saying: What would you do with:" There is no god but Allah," when he would come (before you) on the Day of Judgment?
