عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَّخِذُ عِنْدَكَ عَهْدًا لَنْ تُخْلِفَنِيهِ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ فَأَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آذَيْتُهُ أَوْ شَتَمْتُهُ أَوْ جَلَدْتُهُ أَوْ لَعَنْتُهُ فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ صَلَاةً وَزَكَاةً وَقُرْبَةً تُقَرِّبُهُ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
Syedna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! I take a covenant from You, which You will never break. I am only a human being, so if I cause harm to any believer, or abuse him, or flog him, or curse him, then make that thing for him a means of mercy, purity, and nearness, through which You bring him close to Yourself on the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entrusted a man to Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: Keep him safe and guarded. But she was negligent and that man escaped. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, he asked: Hafsa! What happened to that man? She replied: O Messenger of Allah! I was negligent and he escaped. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah cut off your hands. Upon hearing this, the lady raised her hands in such a manner. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered and asked: Hafsa! What has happened to you? She said: O Messenger of Allah! A little while ago you invoked this curse upon me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Straighten your hands, for indeed I have asked Allah that if I ever invoke a curse upon any individual of my Ummah, He may make it a means of forgiveness for him.

عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ مَوْلَى عَائِشَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَسِيرٍ فَلَهَوْتُ عَنْهُ فَذَهَبَ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ الْأَسِيرُ قَالَتْ لَهَوْتُ عَنْهُ مَعَ النِّسْوَةِ فَخَرَجَ فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ قَطَعَ اللَّهُ يَدَكِ أَوْ يَدَيْكِ فَخَرَجَ فَآذَنَ بِهِ النَّاسَ فَطَلَبُوهُ فَجَاءُوا بِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أُقَلِّبُ يَدَيَّ فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ أَجُنِنْتِ قُلْتُ دَعَوْتَ عَلَيَّ فَأَنَا أُقَلِّبُ يَدَيَّ أَنْظُرُ أَيُّهُمَا يُقْطَعَانِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مَدًّا وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي بَشَرٌ أَغْضَبُ كَمَا يَغْضَبُ الْبَشَرُ فَأَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُؤْمِنَةٍ دَعَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَاجْعَلْهُ لَهُ زَكَاةً وَطُهْرًا
Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) brought a prisoner to me, but I became heedless of him and he escaped. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, he asked: What happened to the prisoner? I said: I became heedless with the other women, so he got away. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah cut off your hands or feet. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went outside and announced the escape of the prisoner among the people, so they searched for him and brought him back. Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, I was turning my hands over and over. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What has happened to you, have you gone mad? I said: You invoked a curse upon me, so now I am turning my hands over and over to see which hand will be cut off first. Hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praised and glorified Allah, raised his hands and said: O Allah! Indeed, I am a human being and become angry like a human being, so for any believing man or woman upon whom I invoke a curse, make it a means of purity and purification for them.

عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَمْدَادَ الْعَرَبِ كَثَرُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى غَمُّوهُ وَقَامَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ يُفَرِّجُونَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى عَتَبَةِ عَائِشَةَ فَرَهِقُوهُ فَأَسْلَمَ رِدَاءَهُ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَوَثَبَ عَلَى الْعَتَبَةِ فَدَخَلَ وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمْ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلَكَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ كَلَّا وَاللَّهِ يَا بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لَقَدِ اشْتَرَطْتُ عَلَى رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ شَرْطًا لَا خُلْفَ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَضِيقُ كَمَا يَضِيقُ بِهِ الْبَشَرُ فَأَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بَدَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي بَادِرَةٌ فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ كَفَّارَةً
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Arab supporters and Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in such great numbers and there was such a crowd that the Muhajirun stood up and began to make room for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), until he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood near the threshold of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Then they came so close that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) handed them his cloak and quickly climbed onto the threshold, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) entered inside and said: O Allah! Curse them. Sayyida said: The people are destroyed (because you have cursed them). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Never! By Allah, O daughter of Abu Bakr! I have made a condition with my Lord, He will not oppose it. I said to my Lord: I am only a human being and I become constrained like a human being, so if any word comes from me in anger against a believer, make it an expiation for him.
Hadith 10117
وَعَنْهَا أَيْضًا قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلَانِ فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُمَا وَسَبَّهُمَا قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْكَ خَيْرًا مَا أَصَابَ هَذَانِ مِنْكَ خَيْرًا قَالَتْ فَقَالَ أَوَمَا عَلِمْتِ مَا عَهِدْتُ عَلَيْهِ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ أَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ سَبَبْتُهُ أَوْ جَلَدْتُهُ أَوْ لَعَنْتُهُ فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ مَغْفِرَةً وَعَافِيَةً وَكَذَا وَكَذَا
Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: Two men came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was very harsh with them and spoke ill of them. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Whoever receives good from you (that is fine), but these poor men did not receive any good from you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you not know the covenant I made with my Lord, the Exalted? I said to my Lord: O Allah! Whomever I have spoken ill to, or struck, or cursed among the believers, then make it a cause of forgiveness and well-being for him.
Hadith 10118
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ قَالَ فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ فِي الْمَاءِ قِلَّةً الَّذِي يَرِدُهُ فَأَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ أَنْ لَا يَسْبِقْنِي إِلَى الْمَاءِ أَحَدٌ فَأَتَى الْمَاءَ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُ قَوْمٌ فَلَعَنَهُمْ

When he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the water, he saw that some people had already preceded him (peace and blessings be upon him). So he (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed them.

عَنْ أَبِي السَّوَّارِ عَنْ خَالِهِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأُنَاسٌ يَتْبَعُونَهُ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ فَفَجِئَنِي الْقَوْمُ يَسْعَوْنَ قَالَ وَأَبْقَى الْقَوْمُ قَالَ فَأَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَضَرَبَنِي ضَرْبَةً إِمَّا بِعَسِيبٍ أَوْ قَضِيبٍ أَوْ سِوَاكٍ أَوْ شَيْءٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَوْجَعَنِي قَالَ فَبِتُّ بِلَيْلَةٍ قَالَ وَقُلْتُ مَا ضَرَبَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا لِشَيْءٍ عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ فِيَّ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي نَفْسِي أَنْ آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتُ قَالَ فَنَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ رَاعٍ لَا تَكْسِرَنَّ قُرُونَ رَعِيَّتِكَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا الْغَدَاةَ أَوْ قَالَ صَبَّحْنَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَتْبَعُونِي وَإِنِّي لَا يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ يَتَّبِعُونِي اللَّهُمَّ فَمَنْ ضَرَبْتُ أَوْ سَبَبْتُ فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ كَفَّارَةً وَأَجْرًا أَوْ قَالَ مَغْفِرَةً وَرَحْمَةً أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ
Abu Sawar narrates from his maternal uncle, he says: I saw that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went to one side and some people started following him, I also walked with them, people were walking quickly, some individuals were left behind, when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to me, he struck me with something, it was a date palm branch, or a stick, or a miswak, or something else. By Allah! It did not hurt me, but I spent that night in contemplation. I said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, must have struck me only because of something Allah had informed him about me. Then I thought that when morning comes, I will go to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. So Gabriel, peace be upon him, descended upon the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with this message: Surely, you are a guardian, so do not break the horns of your flock (meaning, be gentle with them). So when we performed the Fajr prayer or in the morning, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: O Allah! Surely some people followed me, while I did not wish for them to follow me. O Allah! So whoever I struck or spoke harshly to, make that a means of atonement, reward, forgiveness, and mercy for him. Or as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said.
Hadith 10120
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ فَقُلْتُ لَا أَغْتَنِمَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ النَّفَرُ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ مَنْ هُمْ فَهَمَّ أَنْ يُخْبِرَنِي بِهِمْ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ سَوْدَةُ مَهْ يَا أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ أَمَا بَلَغَكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ فَأَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ دَعَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ دَعْوَةً فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ زَكَاةً وَرَحْمَةً
O Allah! Indeed, some people followed me, while I did not wish for them to follow me. O Allah! So, whomever I struck or spoke harshly to, make that for him a means of atonement, reward, forgiveness, and mercy. Or as you, peace and blessings be upon him, said.
