بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Mu’adh bin ‘Amr bin al-Jamu’ narrated:

I made Abu Jahl my target on the day of Badr.

So, when he was finally in my sights, I went for him and struck him, cutting through the middle of his thigh.

Suddenly, his son ‘Ikrimah sliced through my shoulder with his sword, leaving my arm hanging from my body by a piece of skin.

This left me hindered from fighting for the rest of the day, as I had to drag my arm behind me!

Finally, when I could take it no more, I put my foot down on my arm and jerked my body back until my arm came off.
