حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْلٍ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَقَدْ ضُرِبَتْ رِجْلُهُ وَهُوَ صَرِيعٌ وَهُوَ يَذُبُّ النَّاسَ عَنْهُ بِسَيْفٍ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَخْزَاكَ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ هَلْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَنَاوَلُهُ بِسَيْفٍ لِي غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ فَأَصَبْتُ يَدَهُ فَنَدَرَ سَيْفُهُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِهِ حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَأَنَّمَا أُقَلُّ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ آللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ قَالَ فَرَدَّدَهَا ثَلَاثًا قَالَ قُلْتُ آللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ يَمْشِي مَعِي حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَخْزَاكَ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ هَذَا كَانَ فِرْعَوْنَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ قَالَ وَزَادَ فِيهِ أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَنَفَّلَنِي سَيْفَهُ

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4246

It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidah that 'Abdullah said: I came to Abu Jahl on the day of Badr when his leg had been struck and he was lying on the ground, fending people off with a sword that he had. I said: Praise be to Allah Who has humiliated you, O enemy of Allah. He said: Is it anything other than a man who was killed by his own people? I started striking at him with my sword but I was not able to hit him. Then i struck his hand and his sword fell; I picked it up and struck him with it until I killed him. Then i left him and went to the Prophet (PBUH) and it was as if i could not wait to reach him, and I told him (the news). He said: "Do you swear by Allah, besides Whom there is no other god?" And he repeated it three times. i said: By Allah, besides Whom there is no other god. Then he set out walking with me until he stood over him and said: "Praise be to Allah Who has humiliated you, O enemy of Allah. By Allah, this was the pharaoh of this nation." And my father added from Abu Ishaq that Abu 'Ubaidah said: And 'Abdullah said: And he granted me his sword as booty.
