When the captives were brought, when they were brought, Sawdah bint Zam'ah was with the family of 'Afra' at their halting-place with 'Awf and Mu'awwidh, the two sons of 'Afra' — and that was before the hijab was enjoined upon them. Sawdah said: By Allah, I was with them when I came, and it was said: These captives have been brought. So I returned to my house, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was in it, and behold, Abu Yazid Suhayl ibn 'Amr was in a corner of the chamber with his hands gathered to his neck with a rope. Then he mentioned the rest of the tradition.
Abu Dawud said: They both killed Abu Jahl ibn Hisham, and they had undertaken the task against him without knowing him, and they were killed on the day of Badr.
