Abu Ubaydah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "On the day of the Battle of Badr I reached Abu Jahl, the accursed, while his leg had been cut and he was half dead, and he was keeping people away from himself with his sword. I said: 'All praise is for Allah, who has disgraced and humiliated you, O enemy of Allah!' He said: 'Is he anything but a man killed by his own people?'" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I began to strike at him with a small sword of mine, and his hand was hit, and his sword fell. I took his sword and struck him with it until he grew cold."
