[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of Badr and said, "I have killed Abu Jahl." He said, "Is it Allah, the One besides whom there is no god, who has killed him?" I said, "It is Allah, the One besides whom there is no god, and I have killed him." Then the Prophet ﷺ expressed his joy and said, "Show me his body." So I went with him until we stood over him, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Praise be to Allah, who has humiliated this Pharaoh of this nation. Take him to the edge of the pit." I said, "I had struck him with my sword, but it did not cut him. So I took his sword and struck him with it until I killed him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bestowed his sword upon me.  

الطبراني:٨٤٦٩حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ ثنا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ قَتَلْتُ أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَالَ «اللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَأَنْتَ قَتَلْتَهُ؟» قُلْتُ اللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَأَنَا قَتَلْتُهُ فَاسْتَخَفَّهُ الْفَرَحُ فَقَالَ «مُرَّ أَرِنِيهِ» فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِ حَتَّى وَقَفْتُ بِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَخْزَاكَ هَذَا فِرْعَوْنُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ جُرُّوهُ إِلَى الْقَلِيبِ» قَالَ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ ضَرَبْتُهُ بِسَيْفِي فَلَمْ يَحُكَّ فِيهِ فَأَخَذْتُ سَيْفَهُ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِهِ حَتَّى قَتَلْتُهُ فَنَفَّلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَيْفَهُ
