Sahih Muslim 628 (Book 5, Hadith 260) #8574
Cursing Those Who Prevent Prayer

SUMMARY: The polytheists prevented the Prophet from performing the afternoon prayer, and he responded with a curse that Allah would fill their bellies and graves with fire.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported that the polytheists detained the Messenger of Allah from observing the afternoon prayer till the sun became red or it became yellow. Upon this the Messenger of Allah said: They have diverted us from (offering) the middle prayer. i. e. the 'Asr prayer. May Allah fill their bellies and their graves with fire, or he said: May Allah stuff their bellies and their graves with fire.
وَحَدَّثَنَا عَوْنُ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ الْيَامِيُّ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَبَسَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَنْ صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى احْمَرَّتِ الشَّمْسُ أَوِ اصْفَرَّتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ شَغَلُونَا عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ الْوُسْطَى صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ مَلأَ اللَّهُ أَجْوَافَهُمْ وَقُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ حَشَا اللَّهُ أَجْوَافَهُمْ وَقُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا
