It has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (after the encounter at Badr): Who will ascertain for us what has happened to Abu Jahl? Ibn Masud went (to gather this information). He found that the two sons of Afra had struck him and he lay cold at the point of death. He caught him by his beard and said: Art thou Abu Jahl? He said: is there anybody superior to the person you have killed, or (he said) his people have killed him. Ibn Masud says that, according to Abu Mijlaz, Abu Jahl said: Alas! a person other than a farmer would have killed me.
