2709. It was reported from Abū 'Ubaidah, from his father who said: "I was passing by when I saw Abū Jahl laying down, as his leg had been struck. I said: 'O enemy of
Allāh! O Abū Jahl! Allāh has disgraced the disgraced one.' I was not afraid of him at that time. He said: 'Is there a man better than one who has been killed by his own people?' So I struck him with a blunt sword, but it was of no use. When his sword fell down, I struck him with it until he died." (Da'if)

'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd, may Allāh be pleased with him, killed Abū Jahl by the very sword snatched from him. He made use of the sword before the distribution of the spoils of war. A detailed account of Abū Jahl's killing preceded, see no. 2680.
