Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the day of the Conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted safety to all the people except four men and two women, and he said: "Kill them, even if you find them clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah." (They were:) Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl, Abdullah bin Khatal, Miqyas bin Subabah and Abdullah bin Sa'd bin Abi Sarh. As for Abdullah bin Khatal, he was caught while clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah. Sa'id bin Hurayth and Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with them both) raced towards him; Sa'id outran Ammar (he was the younger of the two men) and killed him. As for Miqyas bin Subabah, the people caught him in the marketplace (and killed him). As for Ikrimah, he set out by sea, and a violent storm struck them. The crew of the ship said to its passengers: "Call upon (Allah) sincerely, for your gods will be of no use to you at all here." Ikrimah said: "If nothing but sincerity (in Tawhid) can save me at sea, then nothing else will save me on land either. O Allah, I make a covenant with You that if You rescue me from this calamity, I will go to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and place my hand in his hand, and I will surely find him forgiving and generous." So he came and accepted Islam. As for Abdullah bin Sa'd bin Abi Sarh, he hid with Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called the people to give the pledge of allegiance, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) brought him, made him stand before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, accept the pledge of allegiance from Abdullah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and looked at him three times, refusing each time; then, after the three times, he accepted his pledge. Then he turned to his Companions and said: "Was there not a resolute man among you who would have stood up and killed him when he saw that I had withheld my hand from accepting his pledge?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how could we know what was in your heart? Why did you not signal to us with your eye?" He said: "It is not fitting for a prophet to have a treacherous eye."
