Sahih al-Bukhari 3854 (Book 63, Hadith 79) #3682
Prostration and Prayers for Destruction

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was prostrating when Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait put the intestines of a camel on his back. Fatima removed it and cursed the one who had done the harm. The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed for Allah to destroy the chiefs of Quraish.

Narrated 'Abdullah: While the Prophet ﷺ was prostrating, surrounded by some of Quraish, 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait brought the intestines (ie Abdominal contents) of a camel and put them over the back of the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ did not raise his head, (till) Fatima, came and took it off his back and cursed the one who had done the harm. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'al, Shaba bin Rabi'a, Umaiya bin Khalaf or Ubai bin Khalaf". (The sub-narrator Shu'ba, is not sure of the last name) I saw these people killed on the day of Badr battle and thrown in the well except Umaiya or Ubai whose body parts were mutilated but he was not thrown in the well.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَاجِدٌ وَحَوْلَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ جَاءَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ بِسَلَى جَزُورٍ، فَقَذَفَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ، فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ـ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ـ فَأَخَذَتْهُ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ، وَدَعَتْ عَلَى مَنْ صَنَعَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ الْمَلأَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ، وَعُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَشَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ ـ أَوْ أُبَىَّ بْنَ خَلَفٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ شُعْبَةُ الشَّاكُّ ـ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَأُلْقُوا فِي بِئْرٍ غَيْرَ أُمَيَّةَ أَوْ أُبَىٍّ تَقَطَّعَتْ أَوْصَالُهُ، فَلَمْ يُلْقَ فِي الْبِئْرِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was in prostration when Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait put a camel's intestines on his back. His daughter, Fatima, came and removed it from him and cursed whoever did this action. Despite this, he remained in prostration until she took it off him. He then prayed to Allah to destroy those who were responsible for this act - Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'al, Shaba bin Rabi'a, Umaiya bin Khalaf or Ubai bin Khalaf - all of whom were killed during the Battle of Badr except Umaiya or Ubai whose body parts were mutilated but not thrown into a well like the others. This hadith teaches us that we should remain steadfast even in difficult situations and pray to Allah for justice against those who wrong us instead of taking matters into our own hands as revenge is only up to Him alone.
