أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
الْبَرَاءَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مَعَهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : مَرَرْنَا بِرَاعٍ وَقَدْ عَطِشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : فَحَلَبْتُ كُثْبَةً مِنْ لَبَنٍ فِي قَدَحٍ ، فَشَرِبَ حَتَّى رَضِيتُ ، وَأَتَانَا سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ جُعْشُمٍ عَلَى فَرَسٍ ، فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ فَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ سُرَاقَةُ أَنْ لَا يَدْعُوَ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْ يَرْجِعَ ، فَفَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated Al-Bara: The Prophet came from Mecca with Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr said "We passed by a shepherd and at that time Allah's Apostle was thirsty. I milked a little milk in a bowl and Allah's Apostle drank till I was pleased. Suraqa bin Ju'shum came to us riding a horse (chasing us). The Prophet invoked evil upon him, whereupon Suraqa requested him not to invoke evil upon him, in which case he would go back. The Prophet agreed.

Hadith Commentary: Suraqah bin Ju'sham pursued the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), but as a result of the Messenger's (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) supplication against him, his horse stumbled and fell, and its leg became stuck in the ground. This happened three times. Eventually, Suraqah made a firm promise that he would now turn back, and moreover, if he encountered anyone else searching for the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), he would also send them back. In the end, Suraqah became a Muslim.
