When the polytheists were routed [at the Battle of Badr], the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and stood, then ordered that Abū Jahl ibn Hishām be dragged and thrown into the well, then ʿUtbah ibn Rabīʿah likewise, then Shaybah ibn Rabīʿah likewise, then Umayyah ibn Khalaf likewise. Abū Ḥudhayfah ibn ʿUtbah was standing beside the Prophet ﷺ, unaware, until he saw his own father being dragged and thrown into the well; his face changed. The Prophet ﷺ noticed this and said, "O Abū Ḥudhayfah, it seems what we did to your kinsman has grieved you?" He said, "It is not that, O Messenger of Allah — I have no doubt at all in Allah and His Messenger, but I knew ʿUtbah to have forbearance, intelligence, and honor, and I had hoped Allah would guide him to Islam. So when I saw where he ended up, it grieved me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed well for him in response. Then, in the depth of the night, the Prophet ﷺ went out, and the people heard him calling into the night: "O Abū Jahl ibn Hishām, O ʿUtbah ibn Rabīʿah, O Shaybah ibn Rabīʿah, O Umayyah ibn Khalaf — have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true." The people called out to him, "O Messenger of Allah, are you calling out to people who have become corpses?" He said, "By Allah, you do not hear what I say any better than they do, but they are simply unable to answer." Reference: Thulāthiyyāt ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd al-Kashshī 18
