It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of prostration, while the Qurayshi people were sitting around him. Meanwhile, ‘Uqbah bin Abi Mu‘ayt came with the uterus of a slaughtered she-camel and threw it on the back of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not raise his head. In the meantime, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) arrived and removed it from the Prophet’s back, and invoked a curse upon those who had done this. Thereupon, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed against them in these words:“O Allah! Seize the chiefs of the Quraysh: Abu Jahl, ‘Utbah bin Rabi‘ah, Shaybah bin Rabi‘ah, ‘Uqbah bin Abi Mu‘ayt, and Umayyah bin Khalaf (or Ubayy bin Khalaf).”Then I saw these people killed on the day of Badr and thrown into the well, except for Umayyah or Ubayy, whose joints were dislocated, so he was not thrown into the well.

In the hadith, the word“Salajzur”is used here.“Nasla”means the membrane (uterus) in which the child lies and which comes out of the female’s womb after the birth of the child.“Jazur”is used for both male and female, rather it applies to every slaughtered animal. In one narration of Bukhari (520), these words are mentioned:“its dung, blood, and uterus,”meaning its dung, blood, and uterus were brought. This shows that the entrails were also brought and thrown upon the Prophet. (Abdullah Rafiq)
