Volume 1, Book 9, Number 499:
Narrated ‘Amr bin Maimuin:
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud said, “While Allah’s Apostle was praying beside the Ka’ba, there were some
Quraish people sitting in a gathering. One of them said, ‘Don’t you see this (who does deeds just to
show off)? Who amongst you can go and bring the dung, blood and the abdominal contents (intest –
ines, etc). of the slaughtered camels of the family of so and so and then wait till he prostrates and put
that in between his shoulders?’ The most unfortunate amongst them (‘Uqba bin Abi Mu’ait) went
(and brought them) and when Allah’s Apostle prostrated, he put them between his shoulders. The
Prophet remained in prostration and they laughed so much so that they fell on each other. A
passerby went to Fatima, who was a young girl in those days. She came running and the Prophet was
still in prostration. She removed them and cursed upon the Quraish on their faces. When Allah’s
Apostle completed his prayer, he said, ‘O Allah! Take revenge on Quraish.’ He said so thrice and ad –
ded, ‘O Allah! take revenge on ‘Amr bin Hisham, ‘Utba bin Rabia, Shaiba bin Rabi’a, Al-Walid bin’Ut –
ba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, ‘Uqba bin Abi Mu’ait and ‘Umar a bin Al-Walid.” Abdullah added, “By Allah! I
saw all of them dead in the battle field on the day of Badr and they were dragged and thrown in the
Qalib (a well) at Badr: Allah’s Apostle then said, ‘Allah’s curse has descended upon the people of the
Qalib (well).
