It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Abd al-Uzza bin Khatal was clinging to the covering of the Ka'bah, it was I who killed him (by the order of the Prophet, peace be upon him), and on the day of the conquest of Makkah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: "All people are safe except Abd al-Uzza bin Khatal."
