حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، قَالَ : تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ بِخَيْبَرَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ ، فَأَنْكَرَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ ، وَتَغَيَّرَتْ لَهُ وُجُوهُهُمْ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ : إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ غَلَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ : فَالْتَمَسُوا فِي مَتَاعِهِ ، فَإِذَا خَرَزَاتٌ مِنْ خَرَزِ يَهُودَ مَا تُسَاوِي دِرْهَمَيْنِ .
´It was narrated that Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani said:` “A man from (the tribe of) Ashja’ died in Khaibar, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Offer the funeral prayer for your companion.’ The people found that strange.* When he saw that, he said: ‘Your companion stole from the spoils of war (when fighting) in the cause of Allah.’”

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.
