Hadith 2709

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِسْحَاق بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاق السُّبَيْعِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق السُّبَيْعِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : مَرَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَبُو جَهْلٍ صَرِيعٌ قَدْ ضُرِبَتْ رِجْلُهُ فَقُلْتُ : يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَدْ أَخْزَى اللَّهُ الْأَخِرَ قَالَ : وَلَا أَهَابُهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ : أَبْعَدُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِسَيْفٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ فَلَمْ يُغْنِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى سَقَطَ سَيْفُهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِهِ حَتَّى بَرَدَ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: I passed when Abu Jahl had fallen as his foot was struck (with the swords). I said: O enemy of Allah, Abu Jahl, Allah has disgraced a man who was far away from His mercy. I did not fear him at that moment. He replied: It is most strange that a man has been killed by his people. I struck him with a blunt sword. But it did not work, and then his sword fell down from his hand, I struck him with it until he became dead.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu benefited from the sword of the disbeliever himself and killed him with it.
And this benefit was taken before the distribution, which was entirely appropriate.
See the brief account of Abu Jahl earlier in hadith 680.
