Chapter 34 · The Book Of Jihad And Expeditionsقَتْلِ أَبِي جَهْلٍ
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ يَنْظُرُ لَنَا مَا صَنَعَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ؟» فَانْطَلَقَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ ضَرَبَهُ ابْنَا عَفْرَاءَ، حَتَّى بَرَكَ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ بِلِحْيَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: آنْتَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ؟ فَقَالَ: وَهَلْ فَوْقَ رَجُلٍ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ - أَو قَالَ: قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ -، قَالَ: وَقَالَ أَبُو مِجْلَزٍ: قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ: فَلَوْ غَيْرُ أَكَّارٍ قَتَلَنِي.

The slaying of Abu Jahl
The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said (after the encounter at Badr): Who will ascertain for us what has happened to Abu Jahl? Ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ عنہ went (to gather this information). He found that the two sons of 'Afra' had struck him and he lay cold at the point of death. He caught him by his beard and said: Art thou Abu Jahl? He said: is there anybody superior to the person you have killed, or (he said) his people have killed him. Ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ عنہ says that, according to Abu Mijlaz, Abu Jahl said: Alas! a person other than a farmer would have killed me.
