Karkarah

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:

There was a man who looked after the family and the belongings of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and he was called Karkara. The man died and Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) said, "He is in the '(Hell) Fire." The people then went to look at him and found in his place, a cloak he had stolen from the war booty.

7415 - Karkarah, the mawlā (freedman) of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), was Nubian. He was gifted to him by Huwadah ibn Ali al-Hanafi al-Yamami, who then emancipated him. Abu Sa'id al-Nisaburi mentioned this in (Sharaf al-Mustafa) and Ibn Mundah said: He had companionship (with the Prophet). No narrations are known to be attributed to him. Al-Waqidi said he used to hold the mount of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) during the fighting on the day of Khaybar. Al-Baladhuri stated that it is said he died during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) while still a servant. Al-Bukhari narrated from the hadith of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As who said: There was a man on the burden (or belongings) of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) named Karkarah, and he died. He mentioned the hadith in the context of warning against treachery in war.
