اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ ، فَسَمِعَ لَعْنَةً فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذِهِ ؟ قَالُوا : هَذِهِ فُلَانَةُ لَعَنَتْ رَاحِلَتَهَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ضَعُوا عَنْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَلْعُونَةٌ ، فَوَضَعُوا عَنْهَا ، قَالَ عِمْرَانُ : فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا نَاقَةٌ وَرْقَاءُ " .
Imran bin Hussain said “The Prophet ﷺ was on a journey. He heard a curse. He asked “What is this? They (the people) said “This is so and so (a woman) who cursed her riding beast. The Prophet ﷺ said “Remove the saddle from it, for it is accursed. So, they removed (the saddle) from it. Imran said “As if I am looking at it a grey she Camel. ”

Brief Explanation
1؎ : The scholars say that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did this so that the owner of the animal would not send curses upon any animal in the future. In other words, the statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was, in effect, a form of reprimand for that owner.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The literal meaning of "la'nat" (curse) is Allah's rejection and being distanced from His mercy, and it is an extremely vile trait that a person benefits from something and then uses the word "curse" regarding it. The Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) most likely, as a form of reprimand and admonition, had that animal freed from its rider, so that in the future no one would speak in such a manner. For people to use this word among themselves is even more reprehensible.
