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."
