'Abdullah bin 'Uthman - ''Aabadan Atbāʿ Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn ~145 AH – 221 AH 'Uthman bin Jabla bin Abi Ruwad Atbāʿ Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn d. ~200 AH Shu'bah bin al-Hajjaj Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn ~82 AH – 160 AH Abu Ishaq al-Sabay'ai' Tābiʿī ~29 AH – ~129 AH 'Amr bin Maymun al-Aw'di Tābiʿī d. 74 AH or after Ibn Masud Companion d. 32 AH/ 652 CE

Narrated `Abdullah:While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was prostrating (as stated below). Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: Once the Prophet (ﷺ) was offering prayers at the Ka`ba. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of his companions. One of them said to the others, "Who amongst you will bring the Abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of a camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back of Muhammad, when he prostrates?" The most unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He waited till the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated and then placed it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching but could not do any thing. I wish I had some people with me to hold out against them. They started laughing and falling on one another. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's daughter) came and threw that (camel's Abdominal contents) away from his back. He raised his head and said thrice, "O Allah! Punish Quraish." So it was hard for Abu Jahl and his companions when the Prophet invoked Allah against them as they had a conviction that the prayers and invocations were accepted in this city (Mecca). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Punish Abu Jahl, `Utba bin Rabi`a, Shaiba bin Rabi`a, Al-Walid bin `Utba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, and `Uqba bin Al Mu'it [??] (and he mentioned the seventh whose name I cannot recall). By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I saw the dead bodies of those persons who were counted by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the Qalib (one of the wells) of Badr.

It is related from 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah* said, "When the Messenger of Allah* was in prostration. It is related from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, "Once the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was praying at the Ka'ba when Abu Jahl and his companions were sitting there. One of them said to another, 'Which of you will bring the placenta of a camel of the Banu so-and-so and put it on Muhammad's back when he prostrates?' The most wretched of the people went and brought it. He waited until the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prostrated and then put it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching but could not do anything to stop it. If only I had had some protectors. They began to laugh and fall on one another while the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was in prostration. He did not raise his head until Fatima came to him and threw it off his back. Then he raised his head and said, 'O Allah! Deal with the Quraysh!' three times. When he cursed them it was unbearable for them. They were convinced that the supplication would be accepted in that city." Then he said, "O Allah, deal with Abu Jahl, and deal with 'Utba ibn Rabi'a, Shayba ibn Rabi'a, al-Walid ibn 'Utba, Umayya ibn Khalaf and 'Uqba ibn Abi Mu'ayt,' and he mentioned a seventh whom I do not remember. By the One who has my soul in His hand, I saw those whom the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had ennumerated dead, [their bodies were thrown] in the well, the well of Badr."
