~During the years of public persecution in Makkah (c. 613-615 CE)
While the Prophet ﷺ prayed at the Ka'bah, Abu Jahal asked who would bring the entrails of a recently slaughtered camel and throw them on the Prophet ﷺ while he prostrated. Uqba ibn Abi Mu'ayt did so, and the weight kept the Prophet ﷺ pinned in sajdah while the onlookers laughed. Ibn Mas'ud, who was present but had no one to support him, watched until someone told Fatima, who ran and removed the entrails from her father's back.
After finishing his prayer, the Prophet ﷺ raised his voice and made du'a by name against Abu Jahal (Amr ibn Hisham), Utbah ibn Rabi'ah, Shaybah ibn Rabi'ah, al-Walid ibn Utbah, Umayyah ibn Khalaf, Uqba ibn Abi Mu'ayt, and Umara ibn al-Walid, a seventh name earlier reports (Sahih Muslim) left unrecalled, now attested by name in the fuller narration of Sahih al-Bukhari (Bukhari 1/9/499, narrated by Amr ibn Maymun from Ibn Mas'ud). Ibn Mas'ud later testified he saw the bodies of every one of these men dragged into the well at the Battle of Badr.

I stood at a distance, watching, with no one to support me. The Prophet ﷺ remained in sajdah, pinned by the weight, until someone went to tell Fatima.
I ran to my father and removed the entrails from his back.
Who will bring the entrails of the camel and throw them on the back of Muhammad ﷺ when he is praying to his Lord?
Referring to a camel slaughtered the previous day, its entrails still lying near the Ka'bah.
I have brought the entrails and cast them upon Muhammad ﷺ as he prostrates.
O Allah! Take revenge on Quraysh. O Allah! Take revenge on Amr ibn Hisham, Utbah ibn Rabi'ah, Shaybah ibn Rabi'ah, al-Walid ibn Utbah, Umayyah ibn Khalaf, Uqba ibn Abi Mu'ayt, and Umara ibn al-Walid.
Said after Uqba ibn Abi Mu'ayt placed a slaughtered camel's entrails on the Prophet ﷺ's back as he prostrated in prayer beside the Ka'bah, and the Quraysh laughed at him until Fatimah RA came and removed them.
I swear by the One who sent Muhammad ﷺ with the Truth, that I myself saw every one of these seven dead in the Battle of Badr. I saw their bodies dragged into the well and thrown into the Well of Badr.
These were the seven men the Prophet ﷺ named three times each in his du'a against them after the entrails were dumped on his back.
