Hadith 834

834 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا يَحْيَي بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَي بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِخَيْبَرَ، فَمَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ، فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: «صَلُّوا عَلَي صَاحِبِكُمْ» ، فَنَظَرُوا فِي مَتَاعِهِ، فَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ خَرَزَاتٍ مِنْ خَرَزِ يَهُودَ، لَا يَسْوَي دِرْهَمَيْنِ
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were present with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at Khaybar. A man from the tribe of Ashja‘ died, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not perform his funeral prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “You people perform the funeral prayer of your companion.” When the people searched his belongings, they found a necklace belonging to the Jews among his things, which would not even be worth two dirhams.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
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.
