(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, that I saw on the day of Badr that we were seeking refuge behind the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he was the closest to the enemy among all of us. On that day, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, displayed great bravery.

It is narrated from Abu Salih Hanafi that on the day of Badr, it was said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that with one of you is Jibreel and with the other is Mikaeel, and Israfeel is also present; he is a very great angel who is present in the ranks during battle or at the time of battle.

Sayyiduna Abu Dawood Mazni (may Allah be pleased with him), who participated in the Battle of Badr, narrates: He says, I was pursuing a polytheist to kill him when suddenly, before my sword could reach him, his head was severed and fell far away. I realized that someone other than me had killed him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: On the day of Badr, I was standing in the row, I looked to my right and left and found myself standing between two young Ansari boys. I thought to myself, if only there was a strong man near me instead of these young boys. Meanwhile, one of them drew my attention and asked, "Uncle! Do you recognize Abu Jahl?" I said, "Yes! But nephew! Tell me, what do you want with him?" He replied, "I have heard that he has abused the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). By the One in whose hand is my soul! If I see him, I will not leave him until one of us who is destined to die first, dies." At the same time, the other young boy drew my attention and said the same thing to me. I was amazed at both of them. Meanwhile, I saw Abu Jahl moving among the disbelievers. I said to both of them, "Do you see that man? That is the one you are inquiring about." As soon as they heard this, they rushed towards him. When Abu Jahl confronted them, they struck him and killed him. After that, they presented themselves before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the entire incident. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them, "Which of you killed him?" Each of them said that he had killed him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Have you cleaned your swords?" They replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at both swords and said, "Both of you have killed him." And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) decided the spoils obtained from Abu Jahl in favor of Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). The names of these two young men are Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Afra (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of Badr: Who will go and see what Abu Jahl is doing? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) went, and he saw that the two sons of Afra had struck down Abu Jahl until he was near death. Then Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) caught him by his beard and said: Are you Abu Jahl? Abu Jahl said: Of all the people you have killed, is there anyone greater than me? Or he said: Is there any man greater than me among those whose family has killed him?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: On the day of Badr, I reached Abu Jahl, he had been struck on his leg and had fallen down, and even in that state, he was driving people away from himself with his sword. I said: O enemy of Allah! Praise be to that Allah who has disgraced you. He replied: I am the one whom his own people have killed. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that upon his saying this, I finally struck his hand with my sword and his sword fell down. Then I firmly caught hold of him, struck him, and killed him. Then, in the heat, I happily walked to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so happy that my feet were not touching the ground. I told you the whole story. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Allah, besides whom there is no deity, really? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated his words three times. I said: Really, by Allah, besides whom there is no deity! Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked with me until he stood by his (Abu Jahl’s) corpse. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O enemy of Allah! Praise be to Allah who has humiliated and disgraced you. He was the Pharaoh of this Ummah. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gifted me the sword of Abu Jahl.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Allah Almighty has destroyed Abu Jahl. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: All praise is due to Allah, Who helped His servant and honored His religion. The words of the narrator Umayyah bin Khalid are: All praise is due to Allah, Who fulfilled the promise He made to His servant and honored His religion. The words of another narration are as follows: All praise is due to Allah, Who fulfilled His promise, helped His servant, and He alone defeated all the armies of the disbelievers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the people of Badr that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was showing us, a day before the Battle of Badr, the places where the chiefs of Quraysh would fall and be left behind, and he was saying: "Tomorrow, insha’Allah, such-and-such disbeliever will be killed and fall here, and such-and-such person will be killed and fall here, insha’Allah." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that indeed those people fell exactly at those places. I (Umar) (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By the One Who sent you with the truth! They did not fall anywhere except those very spots." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered regarding their corpses, so they were dragged and thrown into a well. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went towards the corpses of those disbelievers and said: "O so-and-so! O so-and-so! Did you find true what your Lord had promised you? As for me, I have found true what Allah the Exalted had promised me." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Are you speaking to people who have died?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You do not hear what I am saying to them any better than they do, but they cannot respond to these words."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the noble companions heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) speaking at the well of Badr in this manner, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Jahl bin Hisham! O Utbah bin Rabi’ah! O Shaybah bin Rabi’ah! O Umayyah bin Khalaf! Did you find true what your Lord had promised you? So they said: O Messenger of Allah! Are you speaking to people who have died? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You are not hearing what I am saying to them any more than they are, but they do not have the ability to respond.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that on the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood by the well (in which the slain disbelievers were thrown) and said: O so-and-so! O so-and-so! Did you find true what your Lord had promised you? Beware! By Allah, these people are hearing my words at this moment. But Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: May Allah have mercy on Abu Abdur Rahman, he has forgotten, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had actually said that now they know that what I used to say to them was the truth. Because Allah the Exalted has said: Surely, you cannot make the dead hear . And He also said: Nor can you make those hear who are in the graves .
