The mushrikeen took Khubaib (ra) captive to Makkah. After staying captive for some time, the mushrikeen moved him out of the sanctuary of Makkah, and asked him for his last wish before planning to hang him.
He said, "Allow me to offer two rakah of prayer". He performed two rakah calmly and said,
"had I not been afraid that you would think I was afraid of death, I would have prayed for a longer time."
Khubaib (ra) recited these poems at the time when he was attacked, hanging on the rope ;-
"When I am being Shaheed as a Muslim
I do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's cause
If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs"
"A lot of groups have gathered without a doubt around me
They have also gathered their tribes
And have all gathered fully.
Close by, they have gathered their sons and wives,
I have approached near to a long terror which is about to end.
Everyone of them is showing his enmity towards me with full effort,
As I am tied in chains and in a place of destruction.
To Allah, I complain of my lack of energy and uneasiness.
And also of those things which they have gathered for the time of my destruction.
O Owner of the Throne (Allah)
Give me patience upon the calamity which has befallen me
My situation is that they have cut pieces of my meat
And there is less chance for any desire,
It is for Allah's cause
If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs,
They have moved forward because of their kufr,
Even though death is after this,
(they do not fear what will happen to them after their death)
My situation is that I am crying but there are no tears
I do not fear death as I am surely going to die
But my fear is of the surrounding fire (hell)
May Allah save me from it
I am not going to show my weakness nor fear,
Without any doubt, I am returning to Allah,
When I am being Shaheed as a Muslim
I do not care in what way I receive my death"
