عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ صُعَيْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَالَ حِينَ الْتَقَى الْقَوْمُ اللَّهُمَّ أَقْطَعَنَا الرَّحِمَ وَأَتَانَا بِمَا لَا نَعْرِفُهُ فَأَحِنْهُ الْغَدَاةَ فَكَانَ الْمُسْتَفْتِحُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Tha’laba bin Sa’eer (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Badr, when the disbelievers and the Muslims faced each other, Abu Jahl said: “O Allah! Whichever of us has severed ties of kinship and has brought something to us which we do not recognize, then disgrace him tomorrow morning.” Thus, this very supplication of his became the starting point of victory for the Muslims.
