3963. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: On the day of (the battle of) Badr, 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. 'Abdullah bin Mas'ūd got hold of his beard and said, "Are you Abū Jahl?" He replied, "Can there be a man more superior to one whom his own folk have killed (or they have killed)?"

3963 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ المُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ: «مَنْ يَنْظُرُ مَا فَعَلَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ». فَانْطَلَقَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ ضَرَبَهُ ابْنَا عَفْرَاءَ حَتَّى بَرَدَ فَأَخَذَ بِلِحْيَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَنْتَ أَبَا جَهْلٍ؟ قَالَ: وَهَلْ فَوْقَ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ أَوْ قَالَ: قَتَلْتُمُوهُ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ المُثَنَّى، أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ نَحْوَهُ،
