Volume 5 Book 59 Hadith 324

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 324:
Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf:
While I was fighting in the front file on the day (of the battle) of Badr, suddenly I looked behind
and saw on my right and left two young boys and did not feel safe by standing between them. Then
one of them asked me secretly so that his companion may not hear, “O Uncle! Show me Abu Jahl.” I
said, “O nephew! What will you do to him?” He said, “I have promised Allah that if I see him (i.e. Abu
Jahl), I will either kill him or be killed before I kill him.” Then the other said the same to me secretly
so that his companion should not hear. I would not have been pleased to be in between two other
men instead of them. Then I pointed him (i.e. Abu Jahl) out to them. Both of them attacked him like
two hawks till they knocked him down. Those two boys were the sons of ‘Afra’ (i.e. an Ansari
woman).

Volume 4 Book 53 Hadith 369

Volume 4, Book 53, Number 369:
Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf:
While I was standing in the row on the day (of the battle) of Badr, I looked to my right and my left
and saw two young Ansari boys, and I wished I had been stronger than they. One of them called my
attention saying, “O Uncle! Do you know Abu Jahl?” I said, “Yes, What do you want from him, O my
nephew?” He said, “I have been informed that he abuses Allah’s Apostle. By Him in Whose Hands my
life is, if I should see him, then my body will not leave his body till either of us meet his fate.” I was
astonished at that talk. Then the other boy called my attention saying the same as the other had said.
After a while I saw Abu Jahl walking amongst the people. I said (to the boys), “Look! This is the man
you asked me about.” So, both of them attacked him with their swords and struck him to death and
returned to Allah’S Apostle to inform him of that. Allah’s Apostle asked, “Which of you has killed
him?” Each of them said, “I Have killed him.” Allah’s Apostle asked, “Have you cleaned your swords?”
They said, “No. ” He then looked at their swords and said, “No doubt, you both have killed him and
the spoils of the deceased will be given to Muadh bin Amr bin Al-Jamuh.” The two boys were Muadh
bin ‘Afra and Muadh bin Amr bin Al-Jamuh.

Volume 3 Book 38 Hadith 498

Volume 3, Book 38, Number 498:
Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf:
I got an agreement written between me and Umaiya bin Khalaf that Umaiya would look after my
property (or family) in Mecca and I would look after his in Medina. When I mentioned the word ‘Ar-
Rahman’ in the documents, Umaiya said, “I do not know ‘Ar-Rahman.’ Write down to me your name,
(with which you called yourself) in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance.” So, I wrote my name ‘ ‘Abdu
‘Amr’. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, when all the people went to sleep, I went up the hill to pro –
tect him. Bilal(1) saw him (i.e. Umaiya) and went to a gathering of Ansar and said, “(Here is) Umaiya
bin Khalaf! Woe to me if he escapes!” So, a group of Ansar went out with Bilal to follow us (‘Abdur-
Rahman and Umaiya). Being afraid that they would catch us, I left Umaiya’s son for them to keep
them busy but the Ansar killed the son and insisted on following us. Umaiya was a fat man, and
when they approached us, I told him to kneel down, and he knelt, and I laid myself on him to protect
him, but the Ansar killed him by passing their swords underneath me, and one of them injured my
foot with his sword. (The sub narrator said, ” ‘Abdur-Rahman used to show us the trace of the wound
on the back of his foot.”)
