حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي مِنْ كِتَابِهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
رَبَاحُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عُمَرُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، فَوَجَدْتُهُ طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَأَغْتَنِمَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ ، النَّفَرُ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ ، مَنْ هُمْ ؟ فَهَمَّ أَنْ يُخْبِرَنِي بِهِمْ ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ
سَوْدةٌ : مَهْ يَا أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ ، أَمَا بَلَغَكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ ، فَأَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ دَعَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ دَعْوَةً ، فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ زَكَاةً وَرَحْمَةً " .
Abdullah bin Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once I entered the house of Hazrat Abu Tufail (may Allah be pleased with him) and found him in a pleasant mood. I thought to take advantage of this opportunity, so I asked him, "O Abu Tufail! Who were those people whom the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed and reproached?" He was about to tell me about them when his wife Saudah said, "O Abu Tufail! Stop. Do you not know that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Allah! I am also a human being, so if I have ever invoked a curse upon any Muslim, then make it a means of purification and mercy for that person.'"
