Romanisation
Allāhumma ‘alayka bi-Abī Jahlin wa ‘Utbata-bni Rabī‘ah. . ..
Context
We relate in the same Ṣaḥīḥs that Ibn Mas‘ūd
narrated a long hadith about the story of Abū Jahl and his companions from the Quraysh, when they put the placenta of a slaughtered camel on the back of the Prophet
and he supplicated against them—and when supplicating he would do so thrice—then said: “O Allah, take vengeance on Quraysh” thrice. Then he said: “O Allah, take vengeance on Abū Jahl and ‘Utbah ibn Rābi‘ah. . .” He named the rest of the seven and narrated the rest of the hadith. [3].
