The Miracles of the Nabi Pakﷺ – part 29

Nabi Pak ﷺ invoked curse in some people

Imâm Muslim narrated on the authority of Tâs bin Salamah bin al-Akwa,’ who reported on the authority of his father that “a person ate in the presence of Allâh’s Messenger with his left hand, whereupon he said: “Eat with your right hand.” He said: “I cannot do that, whereupon the holy Prophet said: “May you not be able to do that. It was vanity that prevented him from doing so, and he could not raise it (the right hand) up to his mouth. children and Allâh’s Messenger happened to pass by (us). I hit myself behind the door. He (the Holy Prophet) came and patted my shoulders and said: “Go and call Mu’âwyiah.” I returned and said: “He is busy eating.” He again asked me to go and call Mu’âwyiah to him. I went (and came back) and said that he was still busy eating, whereupon he said: “May Allâh not fill his belly! Imâm Ibn Kathir comments on this narration saying that this invocation affected Mu’âwyiah at the time of his Caliphate, as it is said that he used to eat seven times a day, food cooked with meat, and still say: “By Allâh I never get satisfied (with food). “

His curse upon some of the disbelievers was answered on the Day of Badr:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas’ûd that: “Once when the Prophet was praying beside the Ka’bah, there were some people of the Quraish sitting in a gathering. One of them said: “Don’t you see this person, who does deeds just to show off? Who amongst you can go and bring the dung, blood (in another narration the dirty fetus of a she-camel) and the abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of the slaughtered camels of the family of so and so and then wait till he prostrates and put that between his shoulders?” The most unfortunate

amongst them (‘Uqbah bin Abî Mu’ait) went (and brought them) and when Allâh’s Messenger prostrated he put them between his shoulders. The Prophet remained in prostration and they laughed so much so that they fell on each other. A passer-by went to Fâtimah (the Prophet’s daughter), who was a young girl in those days. She came running and the Prophet was still in prostration. She removed them and cursed upon the Quraish to their faces. When Allâh’s Messenger completed his prayer, he said: “O Allâh! Take revenge on Quraish.” He said so thrice and added: “Take revenge on ‘Amr bin Hishâm, ‘Utbah bin Rabi’ah, Shaibah bin Rabi’ah, al-Walid Ibn ‘Utbah, Ummayah Ibn Khalaf, ‘Uqbah bin Abî Mu’ayyt, ‘Umarah bin alWalîd.” ‘Abdullâh Ibn Mas’ûd added: “By Allâh! I saw all of them dead in the battle field on the day of Badr and they were dragged and thrown in the Qalîb (a well) at Badr: Allâh’s Messenger then said: “Allâh’s curse has descended upon the people of the Qalîb (well). 9973

Imâm Muslim reported on the authority of ‘Âishah (may Allâh be pleased with her) that: “Two persons visited Allâh’s Messenger and both of them spoke about a thing of which I am unaware. It annoyed him and he invoked a curse upon both of them and hurled malediction, and when they left, I said: “Allâh’s Messenger, the good would reach everyone but it would not reach these two. He said: “Why so?” I said: “Because you have invoked a curse and hurled malediction upon both of them.” He said: “Don’t you know that I have made condition with my Lord saying this: O Allâh!, I am a human being and that for a Muslim upon whom I invoke curse or hurl malediction make it a source of purity and reward.” Abû Hurairah also reported in another narration that Allâh’s Messenger said: “0 Allâh!, I am a human being and for any person amongst Muslims upon whom I hurl malediction or invoke a curse or give him a whipping, make it a source of purity and mercy. 974

Imâm al-Bukhârî also reported on the authority of Abû Hurairah, who said that he heard the Messenger of Allâh saying: “O Allâh! If I should ever abuse any believer please let that be a means of bringing him near to You on the Day of Resurrection. 9975

The man who apostatized and was rejected by the earth after his burial:
Imâm Ahmad narrated on the authority of Anas that: ‘There was a Christian man who embraced Islâm and he used to write (the revelation) for the Prophet. This man had read Surah (chapter) alBaqarah and ‘Âl-‘Imrân, and when a man reads those Suras (chapters) we used to honor and revere him. However, when the Prophet used to dictate to him: “Write: Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful”, the man then disobeyed and wrote :”Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise. The Messenger of Allâh then would say to him: “Write so and so..”, thereupon the man would say: “I write whatever I like.” The Messenger of Allâh would dictate to him: “Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, AllWise”, but then the man writes instead: “Allâh is Ever All-Hearer All-Seer.” This man eventually apostatized from Islâm and went back to join the disbelievers. He said to them: “I am the one, who know most about Muhammad, and I only used to write what I liked. ” When this man died, the Prophet said: “The earth will reject his body.” Anas added: “Abû Talhah informed me that he went to the spot where that man died, and found that the earth had thrown his body out. Abû Talhah then asked the people: “What is wrong with that man?” Thereupon they told him that they buried him several times, but the earth threw him out every time they did. “” “9
