Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle said on the day of Badr, "Who will go and see what has happened to Abu Jahl?" Ibn
Mas'ud went and saw him struck by the two sons of 'Afra and was on the point of death . Ibn Mas'ud
said, "Are you Abu Jahl?" Abu Jahl replied, "Can there be a man more superior to the one whom you
have killed (or as Sulaiman said, or his own folk have killed.)?" Abu Jahl added, "Would that I had
been killed by other than a mere farmer. "
