146491 107 – (1794) It was narrated that Ibn Mas'üd said: t1;,, (Wt)— "V [t1tI "While the Messenger of Allah was praying at the Ka'bah, Abü Jahl and some of his companions were sitting there. A she-camel had been slaughtered the previous day, and Abü JahI said: 'Which of you will go and get the placenta of the she-camel of Banü so-and-so and put it on the shoulders of Muhammad – – when he prostrates?' The worst of the people went and got it, and when the Prophet prostrated, he put it on his shoulders. They laughed, and started leaning against one another, and I was standing there, watching. If had been in a strong position, I would have removed it from the back of the Messenger of Allah The Prophet remained prostrating, and did not lift his head, until someone went and told Fâtimah, who was a young girl. She came and removed it, then she turned to them and berated them. When the Messenger of Allah , had finished his prayer, he raised his voice and supplicated against them. When he supplicated, he would supplicate three times, and when he asked (of Allah), he would ask three times. Then he said: "0 Allah, it is for You to deal with the Quraish." – saying it three times. When they heard his voice, they stopped laughing and they were afraid because of his supplication. Then he said: "0 Allah, it is for You to deal with Abü Jahl bin Hishâm, 'Utbah bin RabI'ah, Shaibah bin RabI'ah, Al- WalId bin 'Uqbah, Umayyah bin Khalaf and 'Uqbah bin AbI Mu'ait" – and he mentioned the seventh but I [one of the narrators] did not remember it. – By the One Who sent Muhammad with the truth, I saw those whom he () named lying dead on the day of (the battle of) Badr, then they were dragged to the well, the well of Badr. Abü Ishâq said: "A1-WalId bin 'Uqbah was mentioned by mistake in this HadIth.""
