3962. Narrated Anas رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who will go and see what has happened to Abū Jahl?" Ibn Mas'ūd went and found that the two sons of 'Afrā' had struck him fatally (and he was in his last breaths). 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd said, "Are you Abū Jahl?" And took him by the beard. Abū Jahl said, "Can there be a man superior to one whom they have killed, or one whom his own folk have killed?"

3962 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، أَنَّ أَنَسًا، حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ح وحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ يَنْظُرُ مَا صَنَعَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ». فَانْطَلَقَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ ضَرَبَهُ ابْنَا عَفْرَاءَ حَتَّى بَرَدَ، قَالَ: أَأَنْتَ، أَبُو جَهْلٍ؟ قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ بِلِحْيَتِهِ، قَالَ: وَهَلْ فَوْقَ رَجُلٍ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ، أَوْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ: «أَنْتَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ»
