What words did Abu Jahl say at his death that show how severe his disbelief was compared with Pharaoh's?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
We have not found any words of disbelief uttered by Abu Jahl at his death. Rather, before his death, when Ibn Mas'ud found him after he had been struck by the two sons of Afra', he said: "Is there anyone above a man whom you have killed?" or "His people killed him." He also said: "If only a non-farmer had killed me," mockingly referring to Ibn Mas'ud, and this indicates his insistence on disbelief. Abu Jahl is the Pharaoh of this nation, and they resembled each other in turning people away from the religion of Allah and leading their people to destruction.
