"Among the prisoners taken at Badr were two men named 'Oqba b. Abi Mo'ayt and on-Nadr b. ol-Hareth. … It was Nadr who had said at Mecca, "We have already heard (such things). If we wished, we could say (things) like this. They are only fables of the ancients" (sura 8, verse 31). Death was the penalty which Nadr finally paid for that utterance. … At the next halt, 'Oqba was brought before the Prophet, and 'Asem b. Thabet was ordered to put him to death. 'Oqba cried out, "What is to happen to my children?" The Prophet answered, "Hellfire.""
