Hadith 1762

عَنْ خُفَافِ بْنِ إِيمَاءِ بْنِ رَحْضَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصُّبْحَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ قَالَ: ((لَعَنَ اللَّهُ لِحْيَانَ وَرِعْلًا وَذَكْوَانَ وَعُصَيَّةَ، عَصَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، أَسْلَمُ سَلَّمَهَا اللَّهُ، وَغِفَارٌ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهَا، ثُمَّ وَقَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاجِدًا، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَرَأَ عَلَى النَّاسِ: ((يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! إِنِّي أَنَا لَسْتُ قُلْتُهُ، وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَهُ)) (زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ) قَالَ حُفَافٌ فَجُعِلَتْ لَعْنَةُ الْكَفَرَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ
Sayyiduna Khafaf bin Ima’ Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the morning prayer while we were with him. When he raised his head from the last bowing, he invoked this curse: May Allah curse Lihyan, Ra’l, Dhakwan, and ‘Usayyah; they have disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. May Allah grant safety to Aslam, and may Allah forgive Ghifar. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fell into prostration. When he finished (the prayer), he said: O people! I did not say these words; rather, Allah, the Exalted, said them. In another narration, Khafaf said: For this reason, cursing the disbelievers was established.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is understood that the supplication (du'a) or imprecation (bad-du'a) of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for or against any people was done in the light of revelation from Allah Ta'ala. The tribe of Ghifar was among the earliest to accept Islam, and the tribe of Aslam had made a reconciliation with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
