Whenever the Prophet ﷺ lifted his head from the bowing in the last rakʿa he used to say: "O Allah! Save ʿAiyash bin Abi Rabiʿa. O Allah! Save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah! Save Walid bin Walid. O Allah! Save the weak faithful believers. O Allah! Be hard on the tribes of Mudar and send (famine) years on them like the famine years of (Prophet) Joseph ." The Prophet ﷺ further said, "Allah forgive the tribes of Ghifar and save the tribes of Aslam." Abu Az-Zinad (a sub-narrator) said, "The Qunut used to be recited by the Prophet ﷺ in the Fajr prayer."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الآخِرَةِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ وَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ غِفَارُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهَا وَأَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللَّهُ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ هَذَا كُلُّهُ فِي الصُّبْحِ  

"O Allah! Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham and ʿAiyash bin Abi Rabiʿa and the weak and the helpless people among the faithful believers O Allah! Be hard on the tribe of Mudar and let them suffer from famine years like that of the time of Joseph." In those days the Eastern section of the tribe of Mudar was against the Prophet.  

وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَدْعُو لِرِجَالٍ فَيُسَمِّيهِمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ وَأَهْلُ الْمَشْرِقِ يَوْمَئِذٍ مِنْ مُضَرَ مُخَالِفُونَ لَهُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah! Save ʿAiyyash bin Abi Rabiʿa (from the unjust treatment of the infidels). O Allah! Save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah! Send your Punishment on (the tribe of) Mudar. O Allah! Let them suffer from years (of drought) similar to that inflicted during the life-time of Joseph."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to recite the following invocations during Qunut: "O Allah! Save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah! Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid. O Allah! Save ʿAiyash bin Rabiʿa O Allah ! Save the weak Muslims. O Allah! Be very hard on Mudar tribe. O Allah! Afflict them with years (of famine) similar to the (famine) years of the time of Prophet Joseph."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدْعُو فِي الْقُنُوتِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللَّهُمَّ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to invoke evil upon somebody or invoke good upon somebody, he used to invoke (Allah after bowing (in the prayer). Sometimes after saying, "Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him, all praise is for You, O our Lord," he would say, "O Allah. Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham, and ʿAiyash bin Abu Rabiʿa. O Allah! Inflict Your Severe Torture on Mudar (tribe) and strike them with (famine) years like the years of Joseph." The Prophet ﷺ used to say in a loud voice, and he also used to say in some of his Fajr prayers, "O Allah! Curse soand- so and so-and-so." naming some of the Arab tribes till Allah revealed:--"Not for you (O Muhammad) (but for Allah) is the decision." (3.128)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ أَوْ يَدْعُوَ لأَحَدٍ قَنَتَ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ فَرُبَّمَا قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ يَجْهَرُ بِذَلِكَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي بَعْضِ صَلاَتِهِ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ فُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا لأَحْيَاءٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ شَىْءٌ} الآيَةَ  

While the Prophet ﷺ was offering the ʿIsha' prayer, he said, "Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him," and then said before falling in prostration, "O Allah, save ʿAiyash bin Rabiʿa. O Allah, save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Wahd. O Allah, save the weak ones among the believers. O Allah, let Your punishment be severe on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, inflict upon them years (of famine) like the years of Joseph."  

بَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ إِذْ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

When the Prophet ﷺ (once) raised his head after bowing [in the Salat (prayer)] he said, "O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham and 'Aiyyash bin Abu Rabi'a and the helpless weak believers of Makkah. O Allah, be hard on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, send on them (famine-drought) years like the (famine-drought) years of (the Prophet) Yusuf (Joseph)."  

لَمَّا رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

The Prophet ﷺ used to invoke Allah in his prayer, "O Allah! Save ʿAiyash bin Abi Rabiʿa and Salama bin Hisham and Al-Walid bin Al-Walid; O Allah! Save the weak among the believers; O Allah! Be hard upon the tribe of Mudar and inflict years (of famine) upon them like the (famine) years of Joseph."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو فِي الصَّلاَةِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَالْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَابْعَثْ عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

" Allah listened to him who praised Him," and he said in Qunut:" 0 Allah! rescue al-Walid b. al-Walid; O Allah! rescue Salama b. Hisham; O Allah! rescue 'Ayyash b. Abu Rabi'a; O Allah! rescue the helpless amongst the Muslims; O Allah! trample Mudar severely; O Allah! cause them a famine like that (which was caused at the time) of Joseph." Abu Huraira (further) said: I saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ afterwards abandoned this supplication. I, therefore said: I see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ abandoning this blessing upon them. It was raid to him (Abu Huraira): Don't you see that (those for whom was blessing invoked by the Holy Prophet) have come (i. e. they have been rescued)?  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَنَتَ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَةِ فِي صَلاَةٍ شَهْرًا إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ يَقُولُ فِي قُنُوتِهِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَرَكَ الدُّعَاءَ بَعْدُ فَقُلْتُ أُرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ تَرَكَ الدُّعَاءَ لَهُمْ قَالَ فَقِيلَ وَمَا تَرَاهُمْ قَدْ قَدِمُوا  

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head in the second rak'ah of the subh prayer, he said: 'O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salamah bin Hisham and 'Ayyshah bin Abi Rabi'ah and those who are weak and oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, intensify Your punishment in Mudar and give them years (of famine) like the years of Yusuf.'"  

لَمَّا رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to supplicate in prayer when he said: "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (Allah hears those who praise Him; O our Lord, and to You be praise),"then he said while standing, before he prostrated: "O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salamah bin Hisham and 'Ayyshah bin Abi Rabi'ah and those who are weak and oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, intensify Your punishment in Mudar and give them years (of famine) like the years of Yusuf." Then he would say: "Allah is Most Great" and then he prostrated. The people of Mudar and their environs were opposed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the time.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو فِي الصَّلاَةِ حِينَ يَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَيَسْجُدُ وَضَاحِيَةُ مُضَرَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُخَالِفُونَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the supplication in the night prayer for a month. He said (in his supplication): O Allah, rescue al-Walid b. al-Walid, rescue Salamah b. Hisham, rescue the weak believers; O Allah, trample severely on Mudar; O Allah, cause them a famine like that of Joseph. Abu Hurairah said: One morning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ id not make supplication for them. So I told him about it. He said: You dod not see that they have come (back).  

قَنَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي صَلاَةِ الْعَتَمَةِ شَهْرًا يَقُولُ فِي قُنُوتِهِ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَلَمْ يَدْعُ لَهُمْ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ وَمَا تَرَاهُمْ قَدْ قَدِمُوا  

“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head from Ruku’ in the Subh prayer, he said: ‘O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham and ‘Ayyash bin Abu Rabi’ah, and the oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, tighten Your grip on Mudar, and send them years of famine like the famine of Yusuf.”  

لَمَّا رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

[Machine] "And when he raised his head from the last prostration, he would say, 'O Allah, save Ayyash bin Abi Rabia, O Allah, save Salamah bin Hisham, O Allah, save Walid bin Walid, O Allah, save the oppressed among the believers, O Allah, strengthen and intensify your punishment on the oppressors, O Allah, make them years like the years of Yusuf.'"  

وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

[Machine] "When the Prophet ﷺ would raise his head from the last prostration of the last prayer of Isha, he would supplicate and say: 'O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid, O Allah, save Salamah bin Hisham, O Allah, save Ayyash bin Abi Rabee'ah, O Allah, save the oppressed among the believers, O Allah, strengthen Your punishment upon Mudar, O Allah, let it be years similar to the years of Yusuf.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ قَنَتَ وَقَالَ اللهُمَّ نَجِّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ نَجِّ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْوَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to supplicate to Allah after he finished the recitation in prayer, before the bowing and after the bowing. Sometimes, he would say, "Allahumma ij'al al-Walid ibn al-Walid, Wasalamat ibn Hisham, Wa Ayyash ibn Abi Rabia, Wal-Mustad'afin min al-Mu'minin. Allahumma ashrud watataka 'ala Mudar wa ijalha sinina kasi sin Yusuf." He said, "He said it out loud and mentioned it in some of his prayers in the Fajr prayer. "O Allah, curse so and so and so and so, the two Hayyain from the Arabs, until Allah revealed, 'You have no authority over the matter, or turn away from them or punish them, for they are wrongdoers' [Quran 3:128]."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ أَوْ يَدْعُوَ لِأَحَدٍ قَنَتَ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ فَرُبَّمَا قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ قَالَ يَجْهَرُ بِذَلِكَ وَيَقُولُ فِي بَعْضِ صَلَاتِهِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا حَيَّيْنِ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ} [آل عمران 128]  

“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head from Ruku’ in the Subh prayer, he said: ‘O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham and ‘Ayyash bin Abu Rabi’ah, and the oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, tighten Your grip on Mudar, and send them years of famine like the famine of Yusuf.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1244)   

لَمَّا رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ قَالَ اللهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head from Ruku’ in the Subh prayer, he said: ‘O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham and ‘Ayyash bin Abu Rabi’ah, and the oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, tighten Your grip on Mudar, and send them years of famine like the famine of Yusuf.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1244)   

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ لَمَّا رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, "Allah listens to the one who praises Him in the last unit of the evening prayer," he would lower his voice and say, "O Allah, protect Al-Walid bin Al-Walid, O Allah, protect Salamah bin Hisham, O Allah, protect Ayyash bin Abi Rabiah, O Allah, protect the oppressed among the believers. O Allah, strengthen your oppression against Mudar. O Allah, make the years of this (tribe) like the years of Yusuf." Abd al-Wahhab said, "Like the years of Yusuf," and Abu 'Aamir said, "O Allah, protect all of them. O Allah, protect all of them."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ قَنَتَ وَقَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِينَ يُوسُفَ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ وَقَالَ فِيهَا كُلِّهَا نَجِّ نَجِّ وَقَالَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ كُلِّهَا اللهُمَّ نَجِّ نَجِّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah prayed, then raised his head and said: O Allah, protect Ayyash ibn Abi Rabiah, O Allah, protect Salamah ibn Hisham, O Allah, protect Al-Walid ibn Al-Walid, O Allah, protect the oppressed among the believers, O Allah, strengthen your punishment upon Mudar. O Allah, make them years like the years of Prophet Yusuf. Allah is the greatest. Then he prostrated.  

رَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ ثُمَّ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا  

[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ wanted to invoke a curse upon someone or to pray for someone, he would do it quietly after the bowing in prayer. Sometimes he would say, "Allah has heard the one who praised Him. Our Lord, all praise is for You, O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid, Salmah bin Hisham, Ayyash bin Abi Rabiah, and the oppressed among the believers. O Allah, strengthen your punishment upon Mudar and make it like the years of Prophet Yusuf." He would say this loudly and in some of his prayers, during the Fajr prayer, he would say, "O Allah, curse so and so and so and so, the two who are alive from the Arabs." So, Allah revealed: "It is not for you [O Muhammad] to decide a matter whether [God] redirects or forgives them or punishes them, for indeed, they are wrongdoers." (Quran 3:128)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ أَوْ يَدْعُوَ لِأَحَدٍ قَنَتَ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ فَرُبَّمَا قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ» وَيَجْهَرُ بِذَلِكَ وَيَقُولُ فِي بَعْضِ صَلَاتِهِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ «اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا لِحَيَّيْنِ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ} [آل عمران 128]  

“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head from Ruku’ in the Subh prayer, he said: ‘O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham and ‘Ayyash bin Abu Rabi’ah, and the oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, tighten Your grip on Mudar, and send them years of famine like the famine of Yusuf.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1244)   

لَمَّا رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ»  

[Machine] Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib and Abu Salamah both narrated that they heard Abu Hurairah saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say when he raised his head from the bowing position in the second unit of the Fajr prayer, after Allah listened to the one who praised Him, 'Our Lord, to You belongs all praise. O Allah, save Al-Walid ibn Al-Walid, Salamah ibn Hisham, 'Ayyash ibn Abi Rabee'ah, and the oppressed believers. O Allah, strengthen your grip on Mudhar and make it last as long as the years of Prophet Yusuf.'"  

حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ حِينَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ بَعْدَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِيِّ يُوسُفَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the supplication in the night prayer for a month. He said (in his supplication): O Allah, rescue al-Walid b. al-Walid, rescue Salamah b. Hisham, rescue the weak believers; O Allah, trample severely on Mudar; O Allah, cause them a famine like that of Joseph. Abu Hurairah said: One morning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ id not make supplication for them. So I told him about it. He said: You dod not see that they have come (back). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1442)  

قَنَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَتَمَةِ شَهْرًا يَقُولُ فِي قُنُوتِهِ «اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ» قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ لَهُمْ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَمَا تَرَاهُمْ قَدْ قَدِمُوا»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to supplicate in prayer when he said: "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (Allah hears those who praise Him; O our Lord, and to You be praise),"then he said while standing, before he prostrated: "O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salamah bin Hisham and 'Ayyshah bin Abi Rabi'ah and those who are weak and oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, intensify Your punishment in Mudar and give them years (of famine) like the years of Yusuf." Then he would say: "Allah is Most Great" and then he prostrated. The people of Mudar and their environs were opposed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the time. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1074)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو فِي الصَّلَاةِ حِينَ يَقُولُ «سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبِّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ «اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرٍ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ» فَيَسْجُدُ وَضَاحِيَةُ مُضَرٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُخَالِفُونَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

When the Prophet ﷺ (once) raised his head after bowing [in the Salat (prayer)] he said, "O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham and 'Aiyyash bin Abu Rabi'a and the helpless weak believers of Makkah. O Allah, be hard on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, send on them (famine-drought) years like the (famine-drought) years of (the Prophet) Yusuf (Joseph)." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6200)  

لَمَّا رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرٍ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ»  

While the Prophet ﷺ was offering the ʿIsha' prayer, he said, "Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him," and then said before falling in prostration, "O Allah, save ʿAiyash bin Rabiʿa. O Allah, save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Wahd. O Allah, save the weak ones among the believers. O Allah, let Your punishment be severe on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, inflict upon them years (of famine) like the years of Joseph." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4598)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ

O Allah, be hard on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, send on them (famine-drought) years like the (famine-drought) years of (the Prophet) Yusuf (Joseph)." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6200)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنَ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , while he was performing the Isha prayer, when he said, "Allah listens to the one who praises Him," then he said, "O Allah, save Ayash ibn Abi Rabia, O Allah, save Salamah ibn Hisham, O Allah, save Al-Walid ibn Al-Walid, O Allah, save the oppressed believers. O Allah, strengthen Your punishment upon Mudar. O Allah, let it be upon them for years, like the years of Yusuf."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ

O Allah, save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Wahd. O Allah, save the weak ones among the believers. O Allah, let Your punishment be severe on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, inflict upon them years (of famine) like the years of Joseph." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4598)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ قَنَتَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

"O Allah! Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham and ʿAiyash bin Abi Rabiʿa and the weak and the helpless people among the faithful believers O Allah! Be hard on the tribe of Mudar and let them suffer from famine years like that of the time of Joseph." In those days the Eastern section of the tribe of Mudar was against the Prophet. (Using translation from Bukhārī 804)   

أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ يَرْفَعَ صُلْبَهُ فَيَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَدْعُو لِرِجَالٍ فَيُسَمِّيهِمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ فَيَقُولُ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ وَأَهْلُ الْمَشْرِقِ مِنْ مُضَرَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يُخَالِفُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ  

When the Prophet ﷺ (once) raised his head after bowing [in the Salat (prayer)] he said, "O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham and 'Aiyyash bin Abu Rabi'a and the helpless weak believers of Makkah. O Allah, be hard on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, send on them (famine-drought) years like the (famine-drought) years of (the Prophet) Yusuf (Joseph)." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6200)   

لَمَّا رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ اللهُمُ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

"عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَيْنَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ إِذْ قَالَ: سَمِعَ اللهُ لمِنْ حَمِدَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمؤمِنينَ، اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطَأكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ، اللُّهُمَّ سني كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ".  

"لَمَا رَفَعَ رسولُ الله ﷺ مِنَ الركْعَةِ الآخرةِ في صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ، قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ ربَّنَا ولَكَ الحمَدُ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْج الوليدَ بنَ الولَيدِ، وسَلَمَةَ بنَ هِشَامٍ، وعَيَّاشَ بنَ أبى رَبِيعَةَ والمُسْتَضعَفين مِنَ المؤْمِنين بمكة، اللَّهُم اشُدُد وَطْأَتَك عَلَى مُضَر، واجْعَلْهَا عليهم كَسِنِى يُوسُفَ".
