وَحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ اسْتَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْبَيْتَ فَدَعَا عَلَى سِتَّةِ نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ . فِيهِمْ أَبُو جَهْلٍ وَأُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ وَعُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَشَيْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ فَأُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ صَرْعَى عَلَى بَدْرٍ . قَدْ غَيَّرَتْهُمُ الشَّمْسُ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا حَارًّا .
`Abdullah Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned his face towards the Ka'ba and invoked God's imprecations upon six men of the Quraish, among whom were Abu Jahl. Umayya b. Khalaf, Utba b. Rabi'a, Shaiba b. Rabi'a and 'Uqba b. Abu Mu'ait I swear by God that I saw them lying slain in the battlefield of Badr. It being a hot day, their complexion had changed (showing signs of decay).

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1794d
This Hadith gives a shorter form of the same theme. Abdullah says the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم faced the Ka‘ba and invoked against six men of Quraish. The report names Abu Jahl, Umayya b. Khalaf, ‘Utba b. Rabi‘a, Shaiba b. Rabi‘a, and ‘Uqba b. Abu Mu‘ait among them. Abdullah then swears that he saw them lying slain at Badr on a hot day, with their bodies changed by the sun. People searching for Sahih Muslim 1794d, Quraish leaders Badr hadith, or Prophet dua at Ka‘ba will find a direct link between the supplication and the later battlefield scene. The text is not a general story about every enemy. It speaks about named men in one reported event.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم turned toward the Ka‘ba when making this supplication.
- The report names several men of Quraish included in the dua.
- Ibn Mas‘ud later saw them slain at Badr, as stated in the Hadith.
