Sunan Abi Dawud 2709 (Book 15, Hadith 233) #22999
Killing an Enemy of Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Abdullah ibn Mas'ud's encounter with AbuJahl, an enemy of Allah, and how he killed him.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: I passed when AbuJahl had fallen as his foot was struck (with the swords). I said: O enemy of Allah, AbuJahl, Allah has disgraced a man who was far away from His mercy. I did not fear him at that moment. He replied: It is most strange that a man has been killed by his people. I struck him with a blunt sword. But it did not work, and then his sword fell down from his hand, I struck him with it until he became dead.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيَّ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ مَرَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَبُو جَهْلٍ صَرِيعٌ قَدْ ضُرِبَتْ رِجْلُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَدْ أَخْزَى اللَّهُ الأَخِرَ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَلاَ أَهَابُهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبْعَدُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِسَيْفٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ فَلَمْ يُغْنِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى سَقَطَ سَيْفُهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِهِ حَتَّى بَرَدَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the encounter between Abdullah ibn Mas'ud and AbuJahl, an enemy of Allah. When Abdullah saw AbuJahl lying on the ground after being struck by swords, he said to him that it was a disgrace that someone so far away from God's mercy was killed by his own people. He then struck him with a blunt sword but it did not work so he took his sword and killed him. This hadith teaches us that we should never be afraid to stand up for what we believe in even if it means going against powerful people or enemies of God. We should also remember that no matter how powerful someone may seem, they are still subject to God's will and can be brought down if necessary.
