حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاق ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ ، قَالَ : قُدِمَ بِالأُسَارَى حِينَ قُدِمَ بِهِمْ وَسَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ عِنْدَ آلِ عَفْرَاءَ فِي مُنَاخِهِمْ عَلَى عَوْفٍ ، وَمُعَوِّذٍ ابْنَيْ عَفْرَاءَ قَالَ : وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُضْرَبَ عَلَيْهِنَّ الْحِجَابُ قَالَ : تَقُولُ سَوْدَةُ : وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَعِنْدَهُمْ إِذْ أَتَيْتُ ، فَقِيلَ : هَؤُلَاءِ الْأُسَارَى قَدْ أُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِي وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ وَإِذَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْحُجْرَةِ مَجْمُوعَةٌ يَدَاهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ بِحَبْلٍ ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهُمَا قَتَلَا أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَكَانَا انْتَدَبَا لَهُ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفَاهُ وَقُتِلَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ .
Narrated Sawdah daughter of Zam'ah: Yahya ibn Abdullah said: When the captives (of the battle of Badr) were brought, Sawdah daughter of Zam'ah was present with the children of Afra at the halting place of their camels, that is, Awf and Muawwidh sons of Afra. This happened before the prescription of veil for them. Sawdah said: I swear by Allah, I was with them when I came (from there to the people) and I was told: These are captives recently brought (here). I returned to my house, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was there, and Abu Zayd Suhayl ibn Amr was in the corner of the apartment and his hands were tied up on his neck with a rope. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. Abu Dawud said: They (the sons of 'Afra) killed Abu Jahl bin Hisham. They were deputed for him though they did not realize him: and they were killed in the battle of Badr.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
In the killing of Abu Jahl, besides the two sons of ‘Afra’, Mu‘adh and Mu‘awwidh, Mu‘adh bin ‘Amr bin Jamuh and ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud radi Allahu anhum also participated.
Imam Abu Dawud and Ibn Sa‘d have also included the name of ‘Awf bin ‘Afra’.
Hafiz Ibn Hajar, reconciling and harmonizing these narrations, has written that Mu‘adh bin ‘Amr bin Jamuh and Mu‘adh bin ‘Afra’ first attacked together, then Mu‘awwidh bin ‘Afra’ also wounded him, and finally ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud radi Allahu anhu severed his head.
(Fath al-Bari, Kitab al-Maghazi, Bab Qatl Abi Jahl, Hadith: 3964; and Al-Raheeq al-Makhtum)
The mention of ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud radi Allahu anhu is coming in Hadith 2709.
