Sunan Ibn Majah 1244 (Book 5, Hadith 442) #30596
Praying for Protection and Famine

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed to Allah for the protection of certain people and asked Him to send famine upon those who oppressed them.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "When the Messenger of Allah raised his head from Ruku’ in the Subh prayer, he said: 'O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham and 'Ayyash bin Abu Rabi’ah, and the oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, tighten Your grip on Mudar, and send them years of famine like the famine of Yusuf".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لَمَّا رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ، وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ، وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ. اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ، وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ
