It has been narrated on the authority of Anas that, on the Day of Hunain. Umm Sulaim took out a dagger she had in her possession. Abiu Talha saw her and said: Messenger of Allaah, this is Umm Sulaim. She is holding a dagger. The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) asked (her): What for are you holding this dagger? She said: I took it up so that I may tear open the belly of a polytheist who comes near me. The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) began to smile (at these words). She said: Messenger of Allaah, kill all those people-other than us-whom thou hast declared to be free (on the day of the Conquest of Mecca). (They embraced Islam because) they were defeated at your hands (and as such their Islam is not dependable). The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Umm Sulaim. God is sufficient (against the mischief of the polytheists) and He will be kind to us (so you need not carry this dagger). |
