Hadith 2710

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، وَبِشْرَ بْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ . حدَّثَاهُمْ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُوُفِّيَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَتَغَيَّرَتْ وُجُوهُ النَّاسِ لِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ : إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ غَلَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَفَتَّشْنَا مَتَاعَهُ فَوَجَدْنَا خَرَزًا مِنْ خَرَزِ يَهُودَ لَا يُسَاوِي دِرْهَمَيْنِ " .
Narrated Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani: A man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ died on the day of Khaybar. They mentioned the matter to the Messenger of Allah. He said: Offer prayer over your companion. When the faces of the people looked perplexed, he said: Your companion misappropriated booty in the path of Allah. We searched his belongings and found some Jewish beads not worth two dirhams.

1961. Commentary: That is, only a few people should perform the funeral prayer (janazah) for such individuals; there should be no special arrangements, and prominent personalities should not participate in the funeral prayer, so that such criminals are discouraged and they remain fearful.

Benefit:
Committing treachery with war booty (mal-e-ghanimat) is a very grave crime; even if the stolen item is insignificant, it does not lessen the severity of the crime. Thus, for such people, only a few individuals should perform the funeral prayer, there should be no special arrangements, and prominent personalities should refrain from attending the funeral prayer, so that such criminals are discouraged and remain fearful.

In another hadith, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has declared the one who commits treachery to be among the people of Hellfire. [سنن ابي داود : 2849]

This also refutes those who claim that a believer cannot enter Hell. Careful consideration of the evidences from the Book and the Sunnah shows that due to a major sin, even a sinful believer can become deserving of Hell. However, the eternal punishment of Hell is only for disbelievers and polytheists. And Allah knows best.
