It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered Makkah Mukarramah on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, and at that time there was a helmet on his head. When he, peace and blessings be upon him, removed it, a man came and submitted to him, peace and blessings be upon him, that Ibn Khatal, the disbeliever, is hanging onto the curtains of the Ka'bah. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Kill him. Imam Malik states that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was not in the state of Ihram that day. And Allah knows best.
