Home Hadith Hadith 3011
I and `Uthman bin `Affan went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You have given to
Bani Al-Muttalib and left us although they and we are of the same kinship to you." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "Bani Muttalib and Bani Hashim are one and the same." The Prophet (ﷺ) did not give a share to Bani
`Abd Shams and Bani Naufai. (Ibn 'Is-haq said, "Abd Shams and Hashim and Al-Muttalib were
maternal brothers and their mother was 'Atika bint Murra and Naufal was their paternal brother.)

While I was standing in the row on the day (of the battle) of Badr, I looked to my right and my left
and saw two young Ansari boys, and I wished I had been stronger than they. One of them called my
attention saying, "O Uncle! Do you know Abu Jahl?" I said, "Yes, What do you want from him, O my
nephew?" He said, "I have been informed that he abuses Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). By Him in Whose Hands my
life is, if I should see him, then my body will not leave his body till either of us meet his fate." I was
astonished at that talk. Then the other boy called my attention saying the same as the other had said.
After a while I saw Abu Jahl walking amongst the people. I said (to the boys), "Look! This is the man
you asked me about." So, both of them attacked him with their swords and struck him to death and
returned to Allah'S Apostle to inform him of that. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Which of you has killed
him?" Each of them said, "I Have killed him." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Have you cleaned your
swords?" They said, "No. " He then looked at their swords and said, "No doubt, you both have killed
him and the spoils of the deceased will be given to Mu`adh bin `Amr bin Al-Jamuh." The two boys
were Mu`adh bin 'Afra and Mu`adh bin `Amr bin Al-Jamuh.
