It is narrated from Sayyiduna Furat bin Hayan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to be killed; he was a spy and ally of Abu Sufyan. Later, when he passed by a gathering of the Ansar, he said: "Indeed, I am a Muslim." When the Ansar informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he claims to be a Muslim, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, among you are some individuals whom we entrust to their faith; among them is Furat bin Hayan."
