It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once sent us with an army and, mentioning the names of two men from the Quraysh, said: "If you find these two, burn them in the fire." Then, when we were about to set out with the intention of departure, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I had given the order regarding such-and-such men that they should be burned in the fire, but only Allah can punish with fire. Therefore, if you find them, kill them."
