The prayer that was interrupted by a verse
He was naming three men at Uhud.
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ
Allāhumma-lʿan Abā Sufyān, Allāhumma-lʿani-l-Ḥāritha-bna Hishām, Allāhumma-lʿan Ṣafwāna-bna Umayyah
O Allah, curse Abu Sufyan. O Allah, curse al-Harith ibn Hisham. O Allah, curse Safwan ibn Umayyah.
All three men named here were later among the Muslims.
Where this comes from
Ibn Umar says he said it on the day of Uhud. Then the verse came down: none of the matter is yours, whether He turns to them or punishes them. And Allah turned to them, and they accepted Islam, and their Islam was good.
The full narration
Narrated Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:from his father: "On the Day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'O Allah! Curse Abu Sufyan! O Allah! Curse Al-Harith bin Hisham! O Allah! Curse Safwan bin Umayyah!' He said: 'So the following was revealed: Not for you is the decision; whether He turns in mercy towards them [or punishes them] (3:128).' So Allah turned in mercy towards them, they accepted Islam and their (adherence to) Islam was good
