It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people from the tribe of Banu Jashm, including Ubayis or Ibn Ubayis, came to him, and one of them said to him:“Do you not fight until the turmoil subsides?”He replied:“Perhaps I have fought for this very purpose, that there be no turmoil. Shall I not tell you something that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said? And I think perhaps it will not benefit you, but in any case, remain silent.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O Banu so-and-so! Fight against Banu so-and-so.”As soon as he said this, the ranks of men were formed, and behind them were their women. Then, when they returned, a man said:“O Messenger of Allah! Seek forgiveness for me, may Allah forgive you as well.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“Have you done something new?”He said:“Yes, when the enemy people were being defeated, I found a man between the men and women. He said: ‘I am a Muslim,’ or ‘I have accepted Islam,’ but I killed him. In fact, when he saw the shower of spears, he said this to save himself.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Did you cut open his heart to see (the truth)?”He said:“No, by Allah, I did not do that.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not seek forgiveness for that man.

In another narration: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O Banu so-and-so! You people fight against Banu so-and-so.”One of my relatives also went with them, but when he returned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said:“O Messenger of Allah! Seek forgiveness from Allah for me, may Allah forgive you.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“Have you done something new?”He said:“When the enemies were defeated, I found two men between the men and women. They said that they were Muslims or that they had accepted Islam, but I killed them.”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I have been commanded to fight people on the basis of Islam alone. By Allah, I will not seek forgiveness for you.”Later, this man died, and his relatives buried him, but when morning came, the earth had thrown him out. They buried him again and kept a watch over him, but the earth threw him out again. They said to the guards:“Perhaps someone came and took him out while you were sleeping.”So they buried him a third time and kept watch, but the earth threw him out again. When they saw this situation, they left him lying outside.
