وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي، إِسْحَاقَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ وَزَادَ وَكَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ ثَلاَثًا يَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ " . ثَلاَثًا وَذَكَرَ فِيهِمُ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ وَلَمْ يَشُكَّ . قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ وَنَسِيتُ السَّابِعَ .
Abu Ishaq Narrated from:
Abu Ishiq has narrated a similar tradition through a different chain of transmitters and has added: He (the Messenger of Allah) loved to repeat the supplication thrice. He was saying: O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the Quraish (repeating these words thrice). And among the Quraish, he mentioned (the names of) al-Walid b. 'Utba and Umayya b. Khalaf. (The narrator says there is no doubt about the names of these persons but he has forgotten the name of the seventh man).

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1794c
This Hadith gives a similar report through another chain and adds a clear point about supplication. The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم loved to repeat the supplication three times. In this wording, he said, “O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the Quraish,” repeating it three times. The report also names some of the people mentioned among Quraish, while noting that the narrator forgot the seventh name. People may search for Sahih Muslim 1794c, dua against Quraish three times, or Prophet repeated dua thrice. The Hadith should be read carefully. It does not open the door to invent names or details. It preserves a specific wording, the repeated dua, and the narrator’s honest note about forgetting one name.
