Q
What can be learned about the character and pride of Abu Jahl from his final words?
A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said on the day of Badr, “Who will go and see what has happened to Abu Jahl?” Ibn
Mas`ud went and saw him struck by the two sons of ‘Afra and was on the point of death . Ibn Mas`ud
said, “Are you Abu Jahl?” Abu Jahl replied, “Can there be a man more superior to the one whom you
have killed (or as Sulaiman said, or his own folk have killed.)?” Abu Jahl added, “Would that I had
been killed by other than a mere farmer. ”
