4020. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said on the day (of the battle) of Badr, "Who will go and see what has happened to Abū Jahl?" Ibn Mas'ūd went and saw him struck by the two sons of 'Afrā' and was on the point of death. Ibn Mas'ūd said, "Are you Abū Jahl?" Abū Jahl replied, "Can there be a man more superior to the one whom they have killed (or as Sulaimān said, 'or is killed by his own folk?')" Abū Jahl added, "Would that I had been killed by other than a mere farmer."
