Khubaib ibn Adiy (خبيب بن عدي) was a Sahaba (companion) of Muhammad.
Khubaib ibn Adiy was taken captive and escorted in a procession of thousands which was led by men like men like Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, and Safwan ibn Umayah, and which included Said ibn Amir.
The women and children pushed him to the place set for his death. Khubaib's death was to be in revenge for Quraysh losses in the battle of Badr. When the assembled throng arrived at the appointed place with him, the prisoner, Khubaib said in a firm but quiet voice amid the shouting of women and children:
This the Quraysh allowed. Khubaib faced the Ka'bah and prayed two rakaats. Then Khubaib faced the Quraysh leaders.
Then the Meccans set about dismembering Khubayb's body while he was yet alive and taunting him in the process.
With his blood flowing, he replied, "By God, I would not want to be safe and secure among my family while even a thorn hurts Muhammad." People shook their fists in the air and the shouting increased.
Khubaib lifted his eyes to the heavens above the wooden cross.
Thereafter it could not be counted the number of swords and spears which cut through Khubaib's body.
