The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will go and see for us what has become of Abu Jahl?"So Ibn Masud set out and found that the two sons of Afra had struck him down until he collapsed. He took hold of his beard and said, "Are you Abu Jahl?"He replied, "Is there anything greater than a man you have killed?" Or he said, "A man whose own people have killed him?"Abu Majliz said that Abu Jahl said, "If only someone other than a farmer had killed me."
حدثنا علي بن حجر السعدي أخبرنا إسمعيل يعني ابن علية حدثنا سليمان التيمي
قال رسول الله ﷺ من ينظر لنا ما صنع أبو جهل فانطلق ابن مسعود فوجده قد ضربه ابنا عفراء حتى برك قال فأخذ بلحيته فقال آنت أبو جهل فقال وهل فوق رجل قتلتموه أو قال قتله قومه قال وقال أبو مجلز قال أبو جهل فلو غير أكار قتلني
