At that moment the Ansari spared him, but I attacked him with my spear and killed him. T so when we came back, the Messenger ﷺ said to me: Usama, did you kill him after he had made the profession: لا إله إلا الله? I said. Messenger of Allah, he did it only as a shelter.

What is the final statement of the sheikh regarding the 10 Nulifiers
And with respect to these things that nullify one’s Islam there is no difference between the one who did in jest, the one who did them intentionally, and the one who did them out of fear, except for the one who was forced. And all of them are from the most dangerous affairs and the most common that actually occur. So it is befitting that the Muslim be warned of them and be afraid of falling into them. We seek refuge in Allah ﷻ from things that bring about His anger and his severe punishment
