باب غِلَظِ تَحْرِيمِ قَتْلِ الإِنْسَانِ نَفْسَهُ وَإِنَّ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِشَيْءٍ عُذِّبَ بِهِ فِي النَّارِ وَأَنَّهُ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلاَّ نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ:Chapter: Clarifying the emphatic prohibition against killing oneself; The one who kills himself with something will be punished with it in the fire; And that no one will enter Paradise but a muslim
وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حميد جميعا ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُنَيْنًا ، فَقَالَ لِرَجُلٍ مِمَّنْ يُدْعَى بِالإِسْلَامِ : هَذَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّار ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرْنَا الْقِتَالَ ، قَاتَلَ الرَّجُلُ قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا ، فَأَصَابَتْهُ جِرَاحَةٌ ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي قُلْتَ لَهُ آنِفًا : إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ، فَإِنَّهُ قَاتَلَ الْيَوْمَ قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا ، وَقَدْ مَاتَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِلَى النَّارِ ، فَكَادَ بَعْضُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ يَرْتَابَ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ، إِذْ قِيلَ إِنَّهُ : لَمْ يَمُتْ ، وَلَكِنَّ بِهِ جِرَاحًا شَدِيدًا ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ لَمْ يَصْبِرْ عَلَى الْجِرَاحِ ، فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ ، فَأُخْبِرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ ، أَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يُؤَيِّدُ هَذَا الدِّينَ بِالرَّجُلِ الْفَاجِرِ " .
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) : We participated in the Battle of Hunain along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . He (the Holy Prophet) said about a man who claimed to be a Muslim that he was one of the denizens of the Fire (of Hell). When we were in the thick of the battle that man fought desperately and was wounded. It was said: Messenger of Allah, the person whom you at first called as the denizen of Fire fought desperately and died. Upon this the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) remarked: He was doomed to the Fire (of Hell). Some men were on the verge of doubt (about his fate) when it was said that he was not dead but fatally wounded. When it was night he could not stand the (pain of his) wound and killed himself. The Apostle (ﷺ) was informed of that. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Allah is Great, I bear testimony to the fact that I am the servant of Allah and His messenger. He then commanded Bilal (RA) to announce to the people that none but a Muslim would enter Paradise. Verily Allah helps this faith even by a sinful person.

Hadith Commentary:
Apparently, that person was engaged in jihad, but later he committed suicide and thereby nullified all his deeds.
This is the correspondence between the chapter and the hadith.
In reality, the validity of deeds depends upon their conclusion.
May Allah, the Exalted, grant every Muslim a good ending upon tawhid (monotheism), the Sunnah, and love for Himself and His beloved sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and may the soul depart at the last moment upon the kalimah tayyibah (the pure testimony of faith).
Ameen.

Hadith Commentary:
They say that this person's name was Farman, who had apparently become Muslim. Seeing his apparent zeal in jihad, Satan outwardly misled people by suggesting: how could such a person, who fights and is killed in the path of Allah in this manner, possibly be from the people of Hell?
This hadith is not in contradiction to the hadith which states that we should not seek help from a polytheist (mushrik).
Because that hadith is specific to a particular circumstance, and during the Battle of Hunayn, Safwan bin Umayyah was with the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam),
even though he was a polytheist at that time. Secondly, this person was apparently a Muslim.
But the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was informed through revelation that he was a hypocrite (munafiq) and that his end would be evil.
(Wahidi)

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The person whose feats in jihad became widely known among the Muslims—seeing his valor in fighting in the path of Allah, Satan misled some people into thinking: “How can such a person, who fights so bravely in Allah’s cause and is killed, possibly be from the people of Hell?” After this, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) clarified the matter.
➋
This hadith does not contradict the hadith in which the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “We do not seek help from a polytheist in battle” (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Jihad wa’l-Siyar, Hadith: 4700(1817)), because that statement is specific to a particular situation, or “wicked person” (fajir) here refers to someone who is not a polytheist.
The first answer is weightier, because in the Battle of Hunayn, Safwan ibn Umayyah was with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and at that time he was a polytheist. Also, that person appeared outwardly to be a Muslim, but the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was informed by revelation that he was a hypocrite and that his end would be evil.
And Allah knows best.
