Sayyiduna Abdul Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "On the day of Badr I was standing in the row. I looked to my right and left and saw that I was between two young boys of the Ansar, and I wished I were between people stronger than them. Then one of them nudged me and said: 'Uncle! Do you know Abu Jahl?' I said: 'Yes, nephew! What do you want with him?' He said: 'I have been told that he reviles the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). By the One in whose Hand is my soul! If I see him, my body will not part from his body until whichever of us is destined to die first dies.' I was greatly astonished at this. Then the other nudged me and said the same thing. Before long my eyes fell on Abu Jahl moving about among the people. I said to them: 'Do you not see? This is the man you were asking about.' The two of them rushed at him and struck him with their swords until they killed him, then they returned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Which of you killed him?' Each of them said: 'I killed him.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Have you wiped your swords clean?' They said: 'No.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at the two swords and said: 'Both of you killed him.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) awarded his spoils to Mu'adh bin Amr bin al-Jamuh, and the name of the other was Mu'adh bin Afra'."
