Hadith 13477

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ : " مَنْ يَنْظُرُ مَا فَعَلَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ ؟ قَالَ : فَانْطَلَقَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَوَجَدَ ابْنَيْ عَفْرَاءَ قَدْ ضَرَبَاهُ حَتَّى بَرَكَ ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذَ بِلِحْيَتِهِ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَقَالَ : آنْتَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ ؟ آنْتَ الشَّيْخُ الضَّالُّ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ : هَلْ فَوْقَ رَجُلٍ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ ، أَوْ قَالَ : قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ ؟ ! " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Badr, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Who will go and see what has become of Abu Jahl?" Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) went for this service. He saw that the two sons of Afraa had beaten him until he was lifeless. Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) caught Abu Jahl by his beard and said, "Are you Abu Jahl? Are you the misguided old man?" He replied, "Have you ever killed a man greater than me?"
