[Machine] I came across Abu Jahl who was lying dead and I had a worn-out sword with me. I started striking him with my sword, but it did not do anything. He looked at me and asked, "Are our people in Mecca doing well?" Then his sword fell, so I took it and struck him with it until I killed him. Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He asked, "Did you kill him?" I said, "Yes," so he asked me three times and I swore to him. Then he said, "Go and show me." So I went and showed him. He said, "This was Pharaoh of this nation." And Al-A'mash narrated it from Abu Ishaq similarly.  

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْلٍ وَهُوَ فِي الْقَتْلَى صَرِيعٌ وَمَعِي سَيْفٌ رَثٌّ فَجَعَلْتُ أَضْرِبُهُ بِسَيْفِي فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ شَيْئًا قَالَ وَنَظَرَ إِلِيَّ فَقَالَ أَرُوَيْعِينَا بِمَكَّةَ؟ فَوَقَعَ سَيْفُهُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِهِ حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ أَشْتَدُّ حَتَّى أَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ قَتَلْتَهُ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ حَتَّى اسْتَحْلَفَنِي ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَحَلَفْتُ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ انْطَلِقْ فَأَرِنِيهِ فَانْطَلَقَ فَأَرَيْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ كَانَ هَذَا فِرْعَوْنَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَرَوَاهُ الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ بِمَعْنَاهُ
