Once I came riding a she-ass when I had
just attained the age of puberty. Allah's Apostle was offering
the prayer at Mina with no wall in front of him and I passed in

alternative he again tried to pass but Abu Said pushed him with
a greater force. The young man abused Abu Said and went to
Marwan and lodged a complaint against Abu Said and Abu Said
followed the young man to Marwan who asked him, "O Abu Said!
What has happened between you and the son of your brother?" Abu
Sa'id said to him, "I heard the Prophet saying, 'If anybody

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
(intestines, 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 added,
'O Allah! take revenge on 'Amr bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabia,
Shaiba bin Rabi'a, Al-Walid bin'Utba, 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).
