It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah, he was wearing a helmet. Someone came and informed that Ibn Akhtal is clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Even then, kill him." Umm Malik (may Allah have mercy on her) says that on that day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not in the state of Ihram.
