حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد هُوَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ السُّبَيْعِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ السُّبَيْعِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ مَرَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَبُو جَهْلٍ صَرِيعٌ قَدْ ضُرِبَتْ رِجْلُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَدْ أَخْزَی اللَّهُ الْأَخِرَ قَالَ وَلَا أَهَابُهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ أَبْعَدُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِسَيْفٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ فَلَمْ يُغْنِ شَيْئًا حَتَّی سَقَطَ سَيْفُهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِهِ حَتَّی بَرَدَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2709
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: I passed when Abu Jahl had fallen as his foot was struck (with the swords). I said: O enemy of Allah, Abu Jahl, 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.
