Sahih al-Bukhari 3031
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ الأَشْرَفِ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ آذَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ". قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أَقْتُلَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " نَعَمْ ". قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا ـ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَدْ عَنَّانَا وَسَأَلَنَا الصَّدَقَةَ، قَالَ وَأَيْضًا وَاللَّهِ قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدِ اتَّبَعْنَاهُ فَنَكْرَهُ أَنْ نَدَعَهُ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَا يَصِيرُ أَمْرُهُ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُكَلِّمُهُ حَتَّى اسْتَمْكَنَ مِنْهُ فَقَتَلَهُ.
Qutayba ibn Sa'id narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us from 'Amr ibn Dinar, from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Who will deal with Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf? He has harmed Allah and His Messenger.’ Muhammad ibn Maslama said, ‘Would you like me to kill him, Messenger of Allah?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’ He went to Ka'b and said, ‘This man—that is, the Prophet (ﷺ)—has burdened us and asked us for charity.’ Ka'b said, ‘Indeed, by Allah.’ He said, ‘We have followed him, and we dislike leaving him before we see what becomes of his affair.’ He continued speaking with him until he gained the opportunity, then killed him.
