Abdullah bin Shaqiq narrates: He was informed by the person who heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) speaking: He was at that time in Wadi al-Qura, riding his horse, and a man from Bulqin asked him. He asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Who are these people? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These are the people upon whom wrath descended; and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards the Jews. He asked: Who are these people? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These are the astray; by them the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant the Christians. Then a man came to him and said: Your slave so-and-so has attained martyrdom (the narrator is in doubt about one word here, but the meaning is the same). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No! Rather, he will be dragged towards Hell because of the cloak ('aba'ah) that he took by way of misappropriation.
