Khubayb bin `Adiyy was brought to be hung and was asked, "What do you wish o Khubayb?" He said to the disbelieving, pagan polytheists: "I wish to pray two units of prayer", so he stood up, made ablution, quickly prayed two rak`ahs, and then told them: "By Allah, if you would not think that I fear death, I would lengthen the two units of prayer." Then they raised him to hang him and he supplicated against them: "O Allah, count them one by one, kill them to do away with them, and do not leave any one of them." They said: "Do you wish that Muhammad be in your place and that you be with your family and your wealth?" He said, "No, by Allah, I do not wish that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, be hurt by a thorn, and that I be with my family and my wealth." Then they killed him.

Biographers, such as Moosa bin `Uqbah, said Khubayb bin `Adiyy said before he was killed: "O Allah, inform the Prophet what happened to me. As-Salaamu `alayka, O Messenger of Allah, as-Salamu `alayka O Messenger of Allah, as-Salamu `alayka O Messenger of Allah." He was in Makkah, while the Messenger, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, was in Madinah, and who said at that moment: . `Alaykas-Salam O Khubayb, `Alaykas-Salam O Khubayb, `Alaykas-Salam O Khubayb." Then Khubayb recited a poem about his death:

I do not care if I am killed as a Muslim,
From which side my death comes in the way of Allah.
And that is for His sake, if He wills,
He will bless parts of the body torn.
