English translation

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)

Arabic text

2709 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: - قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: هُوَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السُّبَيْعِيُّ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السُّبَيْعِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: مَرَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَبُو جَهْلٍ صَرِيعٌ قَدْ ضُرِبَتْ رِجْلُهُ فَقُلْتُ: «يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ، يَا أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَدْ أَخْزَى اللَّهُ الْأَخِرَ». قَالَ: وَلَا أَهَابُهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: أَبْعَدُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ، فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِسَيْفٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ، فَلَمْ يُغْنِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى سَقَطَ سَيْفُهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِهِ حَتَّى بَرَدَ

Commentary

'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.
