What are the details of the killing, at the hands of Umayr ibn Adi, of the Jewish woman 'Asma' bint Marwan, who used to disparage Islam and harm the Messenger (peace be upon him)?
The biographers and chroniclers of military expeditions, and Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim cited it, mentioned the story of the killing of Asma bint Marwan, who used to harm the Prophet (peace be upon him) and satirize Islam. Umayr ibn Adi al-Khatmi vowed to kill her if the Prophet returned from Badr. When he returned, he crept to her at night and killed her. The Prophet approved his action, saying: "No two goats will butt heads over her," and praised him: "If you wish to look at a man who has supported Allah and His Messenger in the unseen, then look at Umayr ibn Adi." Then Islam appeared among Banu Khatmah after this incident.
