Hadith 5119

عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ عَنْ فُرَاتِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ وَكَانَ عَيْنًا لِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَحَلِيفًا فَمَرَّ بِحَلْقَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْكُمْ رِجَالًا نَكِلُهُمْ إِلَى إِيمَانِهِمْ مِنْهُمْ فُرَاتُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ
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."

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … On the occasion of the Battle of the Trench (Ghazwah al-Khandaq), the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had ordered the killing of Sayyiduna Furat radi Allahu anhu, but then he accepted Islam and became an excellent Muslim. Later, he migrated to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and participated in all the battles alongside him. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passed away, he settled in Kufa.
