Is it established that the Prophet (peace be upon him) fought or killed anyone with a sword, and if that is not established, then how was his jihad?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not kill anyone with a sword. Rather, Ubayy ibn Khalaf was killed on the Day of Uhud by a spear, as the Prophet threw it at him, hitting him in his collarbone, and he died. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was the most complete in courage among people. He participated in all types of jihad with the heart, tongue, and hand. He strived against the disbelievers and hypocrites with the Quran, proof, and clear exposition. He earnestly engaged in the call to Islam from the moment he was sent until Allah took his soul.
