Narrated Ziyad bin Jubair: I was with Ibn `Umar when a man asked him, I have vowed to fast every Tuesday or Wednesday throughout my life and if the day of my fasting coincided with the day of Nahr (the first day of `Id-al- Adha), (What shall I do?)

Then a man called Rifa`a bin Zaid, from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dubaib, presented a slave named Mid`am to Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle headed towards the valley of Al-Qura, and when he was in the valley of Al- Qura an arrow was thrown by an unidentified person, struck and killed Mid`am who was making a she-camel of Allah's Apostle kneel down. The people said, Congratulations to him (the slave) for gaining Paradise. Allah's Apostle said, No! By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, for the sheet which he stole from the war booty before its distribution on the day of Khaibar, is now burning over him. When the people heard that, a man brought one or two Shiraks (leather straps of shoes) to the Prophet. The Prophet said, A Shirak of fire, or two Shiraks of fire.

On that, the Prophet smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and then told him, Feed your family with it. (See Hadith No. 157, Vol 3)
