Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He stood before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) holding a sword, with a cloth wrapped around his face. (The chief of Quraysh) ‘Urwah was present with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). While talking to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), ‘Urwah extended his hand towards the Prophet’s beard. Sayyiduna Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to ‘Urwah: Either you withdraw your hand from the beard of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), or it will not return to you safely. ‘Urwah asked: Who is this person? It was said: This is your nephew, Mughirah bin Shu’bah. So ‘Urwah said: O betrayer! You have not yet washed your head after your betrayal.
