أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، قال : مَاتَ رَجُلٌ بِخَيْبَرَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ إِنَّهُ غَلَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " , فَفَتَّشْنَا مَتَاعَهُ فَوَجَدْنَا فِيهِ خَرَزًا مِنْ خَرَزِ يَهُودَ مَا يُسَاوِي دِرْهَمَيْنِ .
´It was narrated that Zaid bin Khalid said:` "A man died at Khaibar and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Pray for your companion; he stole from the spoils war.' We inspected his luggage and fund some of the beads of the Jews that were not even worth two Dirhams."

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.
