Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Ibn al-Qasim)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the year of Khaybar, we set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (for jihad), and among the spoils of war, we found neither gold nor silver except for property (lands), goods, and clothes. A man from the tribe of Banu Dubab, Rifa‘ah bin Zayd, gave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a black slave as a gift, who was called Mid‘am. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him towards Wadi al-Qura. When we reached Wadi al-Qura, we saw that Mid‘am was unloading the saddle from the mount of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when suddenly an unidentified arrow came and struck him, and he died. The people said: “Congratulations to him for Paradise!” But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Never! By the One in Whose hand is my soul! The cloak he concealed (by stealing) on the day of Khaybar before the distribution of the spoils has become a fire wrapping him.” When the people heard this, a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a strap or two straps, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A strap or two straps are from the fire.” With the help and support of Allah, the first part is completed.
