Sunan Abi Da'ud · Hadith 2709

حدثنا محمد بن العلاء، قال أخبرنا إبراهيم، - يعني ابن يوسف بن إسحاق بن أبي إسحاق السبيعي - عن أبيه، عن أبي إسحاق السبيعي، حدثني أبو عبيدة، عن أبيه، قال مررت فإذا أبو جهل صريع قد ضربت رجله فقلت يا عدو الله يا أبا جهل قد أخزى الله الأخر ‏.‏ قال ولا أهابه عند ذلك ‏.‏ فقال أبعد من رجل قتله قومه فضربته بسيف غير طائل فلم يغن شيئا حتى سقط سيفه من يده فضربته به حتى برد ‏.‏

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: I passed when AbuJahl had fallen as his foot was struck (with the swords). I said: O enemy of Allah, AbuJahl, Allah has disgraced a man who was far away from His mercy. I did not fear him at that moment. He replied: It is most strange that a man has been killed by his people. I struck him with a blunt sword. But it did not work, and then his sword fell down from his hand, I struck him with it until he became dead.
