حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ " مَنْ يَنْظُرُ مَا فَعَلَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ ". فَانْطَلَقَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ ضَرَبَهُ ابْنَا عَفْرَاءَ حَتَّى بَرَدَ، فَأَخَذَ بِلِحْيَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَالَ وَهَلْ فَوْقَ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ أَوْ قَالَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ .

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to me: Ibn Abi Adi narrated to us, from Sulayman al-Taymi, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of Badr, “Who will go and see what has become of Abu Jahl?” Ibn Masʿud set out and found that the two sons of Afra had struck him until he was nearly dead. He took him by the beard and said, “Are you Abu Jahl?” He replied, “Can there be anyone greater than a man killed by his own people—or, he said, a man you have killed?”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
This is a variant of the preceding report. Abu Jahl’s final phrase is elliptical and the narrator explicitly gives two wordings; both are retained.
