308. It was narrated that 'Amr bin Maimûn said: "Abdullâh told us: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was praying at the House (the Ka'bah) and a group of the nobles of Quraish were sitting there. They had just slaughtered a camel and one of them said: "Which of you will take these stomach contents with the blood and wait until he prostrates, then put them on his back?"' Abdullâh said: 'The one who was most doomed got up and took the stomach contents, then went and waited until he prostrated himself, and put it on his back. Fâtimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, who was a young girl, was told about that, and she came running and took it off his back. When he had finished praying he said: "O Allâh! Punish the Quraish," three times, "O Allâh, punish Abû Jahl bin Hishâm, Shaibah bin Rabî'ah, 'Utbah bin Rabî'ah, 'Uqbah bin Abî Mu'ait' until he had listed seven men from the Quraish.' Abdullâh said: 'By the One Who revealed the Book to him, I saw them dead on the day of Badr (their corpses) in a single dry well.'"

Commentary
Imâm An-Nasâ'î has argued on the basis of this report, about the purity of the dung of animal whose meat is eaten. And this is correct, because in spite of it Allâh's Messenger ﷺ continued with his prayer and did not repeat the prayer afterward, despite his sure realization later that it was such a thing. From among those people who consider it impure, Imam Mâlik's viewpoint is that if such a thing touches the body on the garment during the prayer, the prayer may be completed. Although, if it touches before the prayer, it is necessary to wash it. But the inference of the Imâm An-Nasâ'î is stronger.
