He came to Abu Jahl, who still had a faint breath of life in him on the day of Badr. Abu Jahl said, "Is there anything more remarkable than a man you have killed?"
أنه أتى أبا جهل، وبه رمق يوم بدر، فقال أبو جهل: هل أعمد من رجل قتلتموه؟
Bukhari narrated it in the Battles chapter (3961) from Ibn Numayr (that is, Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numayr), who said, our teacher Abu Usama narrated to us, our teacher Ismail (that is, Ibn Abu Khalid) narrated to us, our teacher Qays (that is, Ibn Abu Hazim) informed us, from Abdullah (that is, Ibn Masud), that he came (and he mentioned the account). His statement, "amid" (with the undotted letter) is a superlative form from amida, meaning "he perished."What Abu Ubayda narrated from his father Abdullah bin Masud is not sound. He said, I reached Abu Jahl on the day of Badr. His leg had been struck and he lay fallen, warding off people from himself with a sword of his. I said, "Praise be to Allah who has disgraced you, enemy of Allah!" He said, "Is he anything but a man his own people killed?" He said, then I began to strike at him with my sword, to no effect, until I struck his hand and his sword fell away. I took it and struck him with it until I killed him.He said, then I went out until I came to the Prophet ﷺ, feeling as though I were floating above the ground, and I told him. He said, "By Allah, besides whom there is no god" repeating it three times. He said, I said, "By Allah, besides whom there is no god." He said, then he went out walking with me until he stood over him and said, "Praise be to Allah who has disgraced you, enemy of Allah. This was the pharaoh of this nation."He (meaning Waki) said, and my father added in it, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Ubayda, who said, Abdullah said, "So he awarded me his sword as spoils."Imam Ahmad narrated it (4246) from Waki, who said, Israel narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Ubayda, who said, Abdullah said, and he mentioned it. He also narrated it (3824) through another route from Sharik, from Abu Ishaq. But Abu Ubayda did not hear from his father.Abu Dawud narrated it (2722) through another route from Waki, from his father, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Ubayda, from Abdullah bin Masud, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ awarded me, on the day of Badr, the sword of Abu Jahl, whom he had killed.Waki's father is Jarra bin Mulayh, about whom more than one scholar has spoken critically. The conclusion regarding him is that his solitary narrations are not accepted.
