معاذ بن عمرو بن الجموح
Mu'adh ibn Amr ibn al-Jamuh
Young Hero of Badr Who Struck Down Abu Jahl
Payg'ambar ﷺ bilan munosabati
The Prophet ﷺ was deeply moved by the valor of the young Ansar at Badr, and Mu'adh ibn Amr's role in striking Abu Jahl was highlighted in the Prophet's ﷺ accounts of the battle. The Prophet ﷺ honored all the young warriors of Badr, understanding that their willingness to sacrifice was the foundation of the early Muslim victory. The Prophet's ﷺ description of Abu Jahl as "the Pharaoh of this Ummah" after his death gave retrospective validation to Mu'adh's courage — he had struck down the primary enemy of believers, doing at Badr what the companions had been unable to do during years of persecution in Mecca.

Mu'adh ibn Amr ibn al-Jamuh was a young Ansari companion who became famous for his role in the killing of Abu Jahl at the Battle of Badr — considered one of the pivotal moments of that battle. He was from the Banu Salama of the Khazraj tribe in Madinah.
At the Battle of Badr in 624 CE, Mu'adh ibn Amr was a young man burning with zeal to fight against Abu Jahl, who had been the chief persecutor of the early Muslims. He spotted Abu Jahl on the battlefield and charged at him, striking him powerfully with his sword and cutting off the leg. Abu Jahl's arm was also struck by another young Ansari companion, Mu'awwidh ibn Afra.
Abu Jahl was found badly wounded but still alive after the battle. When the Prophet ﷺ sent Abdullah ibn Mas'ud to search the battlefield for him, Abd ibn Mas'ud found Abu Jahl and finished him. The Prophet ﷺ asked Abdullah to check if it was indeed Abu Jahl, and upon confirmation the Prophet ﷺ said: "This is the Pharaoh of this Ummah."
Mu'adh ibn Amr was himself seriously wounded in this encounter — his arm was nearly severed, hanging by a piece of skin. He is said to have placed his foot on the dangling arm and torn it off himself to continue fighting. This act of extreme courage became one of the most celebrated stories of Ansari bravery at Badr. He survived the battle, recovered, and continued to serve as a companion of the Prophet ﷺ.
