[Machine] I came across Abu Jahl, who was in a state of weakness, with his head covered with a bandage. He had a good sword with him, while I had a poor one. I raised my sword to strike him on his head and remembered the incident when he had hit my head with a stone in Makkah until his hand became weak. So I took his sword and raised his head with it. He said, "Whose back is it for us or against us? Did you go back on our agreement in Makkah?" I killed him and then went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have killed Abu Jahl." He said, "By Allah in whose hand is my soul, did you kill him?" He then swore to me three times and got up and accompanied me to where he lay and then invoked curse upon him.
انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْلٍ وَهُوَ صَرِيعٌ وَعَلَيْهِ بَيْضَتُهُ وَمَعَهُ سَيْفٌ جَيِّدٌ وَمَعِي سَيْفٌ رَدِيءٌ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْقُفُ رَأْسَهُ بِسَيْفِي وَأَذْكُرُ نَقْفًا كَانَ يَنْقُفُ رَأْسِي بِمَكَّةَ حَتَّى ضَعُفَتْ يَدُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ سَيْفَهُ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَتِ الدَّبْرَةُ لَنَا أَوْ عَلَيْنَا أَلَسْتَ رُوَيْعِينَا بِمَكَّةَ؟ فَقَتَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ قَتَلْتُ أَبَا جَهْلٍ فَقَالَ «اللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ؟» فَاسْتَحْلَفَنِي ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ مَعِي إِلَيْهِمْ فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ
