Abdullah ibn Khatal

A man of Banu Taym ibn Ghalib who had become Muslim and whom the Prophet had sent as an alms-collector; he treacherously killed his Muslim servant boy, apostatised and took the alms, and kept two singing-girls who lampooned the Prophet. His blood was declared lawful on the day of the conquest and he was killed clinging to the Ka'ba's curtains ¹.

The Prophet had sent Abdullah ibn Khatal with an Ansari man and a servant who served them both; they halted somewhere and he ordered him to cook a meal, then slept — waking to find nothing made, he set upon him and killed him, then apostatised into polytheism and took the alms camels ².

He had two singing-girls, Fartana and her companion, who sang lampoons of the Prophet and his companions ². When the army entered Mecca the Prophet declared his blood lawful; he took refuge in the Ka'ba clinging to its curtains, and was killed between the corner and the Station — Sa'id ibn Hurayth al-Makhzumi and Abu Barza al-Aslami killed him ¹.
