It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: On the day of Badr, I was standing in the row, I looked to my right and left and found myself standing between two young Ansari boys. I thought to myself, if only there was a strong man near me instead of these young boys. Meanwhile, one of them drew my attention and asked, "Uncle! Do you recognize Abu Jahl?" I said, "Yes! But nephew! Tell me, what do you want with him?" He replied, "I have heard that he has abused the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). By the One in whose hand is my soul! If I see him, I will not leave him until one of us who is destined to die first, dies." At the same time, the other young boy drew my attention and said the same thing to me. I was amazed at both of them. Meanwhile, I saw Abu Jahl moving among the disbelievers. I said to both of them, "Do you see that man? That is the one you are inquiring about." As soon as they heard this, they rushed towards him. When Abu Jahl confronted them, they struck him and killed him. After that, they presented themselves before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the entire incident. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them, "Which of you killed him?" Each of them said that he had killed him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Have you cleaned your swords?" They replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at both swords and said, "Both of you have killed him." And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) decided the spoils obtained from Abu Jahl in favor of Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). The names of these two young men are Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Afra (may Allah be pleased with him).
