[Machine] "When Allah defeated the polytheists on the Day of Badr, I passed by and saw Abu Jahl lying wounded, his leg struck. I said, 'O enemy of Allah, O Abu Jahl, Allah has humiliated the other party.' He replied, 'I am not afraid of that.' I said, 'Stay away from a man whose people have killed him,' and I struck him with a useless sword, but it did not benefit me at all until his sword fell from his hand, so I took it and struck him until he was lifeless. Then I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , feeling intense to inform him as quickly as possible, and I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Allah has killed Abu Jahl.' He said, 'Is it Allah, the One whom there is no deity besides Him?' I said, 'Yes, Allah, the One whom there is no deity besides Him. I have indeed killed him.' He asked, 'How?' So I narrated to him how the conversation went and what I found. He said, 'Is it Allah, the One whom there is no deity besides Him?' I said, 'Yes, Allah, the One whom there is no deity besides Him. I have indeed killed him.' He then exclaimed, 'All praise is due to Allah who has fulfilled His promise and granted victory to His servant.' Then he set off until he came to him and said, 'This is Pharaoh of this Ummah.'"

لَمَّا هَزَمَ اللهُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ مَرَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَبُو جَهْلٍ صَرِيعٌ قَدْ ضُرِبَتْ رِجْلُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَدُوَّ اللهِ يَا أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَدْ أَخْزَى اللهُ الْآخَرَ قَالَ وَلَا أَهَابُهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبْعِدْ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِسَيْفٍ لِي غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ فَلَمْ يُغْنِ عَنِّي شَيْئًا حَتَّى سَقَطَ سَيْفُهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَضَرَبْتُهُ حَتَّى بَرُدَ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أشْتَدُّ لِأَنْ آتِي أَسْرَعَ خَلْقِ اللهِ شَدًّا حَتَّى جِئْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ قَدْ قَتَلَ اللهُ أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَالَ «اللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ؟» فَقُلْتُ اللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَقَدْ قَتَلْتُهُ قَالَ «كَيْفَ؟» فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ كَيْفَ كَانَ الْحَدِيثُ وَكَيْفَ وَجَدْتُهُ قَالَ «اللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ اللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَقَدْ قَتَلْتُهُ فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ» ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ حَتَّى آتَاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَذَا فِرْعَوْنُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ»

[Machine] "I sought out Abu Jahl on the day of Badr, and his leg had been struck and he was lying unconscious. He was pushing people away from him with his sword. So I said, "Praise be to Allah who humiliated you, O enemy of Allah." He replied, "Is he not just a man whom his people have killed?" I then attempted to take his sword, but I only managed to grab his hand and his sword fell away from him. I took hold of it and struck him with it until I killed him. Then I went until I reached the Prophet ﷺ , as if I were lighter than the earth. I informed him, and he said, "Is it not Allah, whom there is no deity except Him?" And he repeated it three times. I said, "It is Allah, whom there is no deity except Him." The Prophet ﷺ then stood up and walked with me and said, "Praise be to Allah who humiliated you, O enemy of Allah. This was the Pharaoh of this nation." Abu Ubaidah reported from Abu Ishaq from Abu Ubaydah who said, 'Abdullah then gifted me his sword."
