سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ ، عَنْ
زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ بَعَثَ إِلَى
أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ بِأَنْجَادٍ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ قَامَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَدَعَا خَادِمَهُ فَكَأَنَّهُ أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَعَنَهُ ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ ، قَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ : سَمِعْتُكَ اللَّيْلَةَ لَعَنْتَ خَادِمَكَ حِينَ دَعَوْتَهُ ، فَقَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ
أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَكُونُ اللَّعَّانُونَ شُفَعَاءَ وَلَا شُهَدَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Zaid bin Aslam reported that 'Abdul Malik bin Marwan sent some domestic goods for decoration to Umm Darda' on his own behalf, and when it was night 'Abdul Malik got up and called for the servant. It seemed as if he (the servant) was late (in responding to his call), so he ('Abdul Malik) invoked curse upon him, and when it was morning Umm Darda' said to him: I heard you cursing your servant during the night when you called him, and she said: I heard Abu Darda' as saying that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The invoker of curse would neither be intercessor nor witness on the Day of Resurrection.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Anjaad:
Plural of Najd,
Items for the decoration and adornment of the house.
Benefits and Issues:
On the Day of Resurrection,
the believer will intercede on behalf of his believing brothers,
but those whose habit is to invoke curses will be deprived of intercession,
likewise, on the Day of Resurrection, they will not bear witness to the delivery of the message by the Messengers before other nations,
or they will be deprived of the blessing of martyrdom (shahada) in the path of Allah,
however, sending curses upon those whom Allah has cursed
is not included in this prohibition.
