Hazrat Humaid bin Hilal (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah have mercy on him) came to Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) while there was a Jewish man with him. So he (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What is the matter with him? He replied: This Jew had accepted Islam and then became an apostate, and indeed Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him a respite of two months for repentance. Upon this, Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will never sit down until I have struck off his neck. This is the decision of Allah and His Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ).
