Musnad Ahmad 12143

Translation

✧ On the day of Badr, the Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Who will look into what Abu Jahl has done?” Ibn Mas'ud set out and found that the two sons of 'Afra' had struck him until he became still. He took hold of his beard and said: “Are you Abu Jahl?” He replied: “Is there any man above a man you have killed, or whose people have killed him?”
