Sahih Muslim 1794b (Book 32, Hadith 132) #11760
Praying for Justice

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was praying when someone threw a fetus of a she-camel on his back. His daughter Fatima came and removed it from his back, and he prayed for Allah to punish the people who did this.

It has been narrated by Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) who said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was lying prostrate in prayer and around him were some people from the Quraish, 'Uqba b. Abu Mu'ait brought the fetus of a she-camel and threw it on the back of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He did not raise his head until Fatima arrived, removed it from his back and cured him who had done that (ugly act). He said: O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the chiefs of the Quraish. Abu Jahl b. Hisham, 'Utba b. Rabi'a. Uqba b. Abu Mu'ait, Shaiba b. Rabi'a, Umayya b. Khalaf or Ubayy b. Khalaf (Shu'ba, one of the narrator of this tradition is in doubt about the exact person). I saw that all were slain in the Battle of Badr and their dead bodies were thrown into a well, except that of Umayya or Ubayy which was cut into pieces and was thrown into the well.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَاجِدٌ وَحَوْلَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِذْ جَاءَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ بِسَلاَ جَزُورٍ فَقَذَفَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَأَخَذَتْهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ وَدَعَتْ عَلَى مَنْ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ الْمَلأَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ وَشَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ أَوْ أُبَىَّ بْنَ خَلَفٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ شُعْبَةُ الشَّاكُّ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَأُلْقُوا فِي بِئْرٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّ أُمَيَّةَ أَوْ أُبَيًّا تَقَطَّعَتْ أَوْصَالُهُ فَلَمْ يُلْقَ فِي الْبِئْرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's prayer for justice after someone threw a fetus of a she-camel on his back while he was prostrating in prayer. His daughter Fatima came and removed it from him, and then he prayed to Allah to punish those who had done this act. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek justice when we are wronged or hurt by others, as well as have faith that Allah will take care of those who do wrong deeds in the end. It also shows us how important it is to be patient even in difficult situations like this one; instead of getting angry or retaliating against those who hurt him, the Prophet Muhammad calmly asked Allah for justice instead. Finally, it reminds us that our families are always there to help us out when we need them most - just like how Fatima was there for her father at that moment!
