*300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ*

Number 146. 

*The Messenger of Allah predicted that he himself would slay Ubai b. Khalaf whose fate ended in utter torment.*

• “When the Messenger of Allah was going up the hillock (during the battle of Uhud), he 

was followed by Ubai bin Khalaf who was saying: "Where is Muhammad? Either I kill 

him or I will be killed.‟ The Companions of the Messenger of Allah said: "O Messenger 

of Allah, do you mind if one of us combats with him?‟ But the Messenger of Allah said: 

"Leave him!‟ So when he drew nearer, the Messenger of Allah took the spear from 

Sayyidina al-Harith bin as-Simma. Ubai bin Khalaf shivered violently in such a way that 

made all of them scatter in all directions violently and impulsively. Then the Messenger 

of Allah faced him, observed his clavicle through a gap between the wide opening of the armour and the part of his neck enclosed by. He speared him in that spot. The effect of 

the stroke was so strong that it made him roll off his horse over and over. When he 

returned to Quraysh, they found that he had only had a small scratch in his neck. So when 

blood became congested he said: „By Allah, Muhammad has killed me.‟ Hearing him say 

so, they said: "By Allah you are afraid to death. By Allah, you are possessed by a devil.‟ 

He replied: "He had already told me when we were in Makkah: "I will kill you.‟ By 

Allah, had he spat on me, he would have killed me.‟ Eventually, the enemy of Allah 

breathed his last at a place called Sarif, while they were taking him back to Makkah.”
