Sahih Muslim 1441a (Book 16, Hadith 164) #10699
Cursing Unlawful Actions

SUMMARY: The Prophet of Allah (PBUH) was angered by a man who was about to cohabit with a pregnant woman and cursed him for his unlawful actions.

Abu Darda' (Allah be pleased with him) related from the Prophet of Allah that he came upon a woman who was in the advanced stage of pregnancy at the door of a tent. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Perhaps he (the man accompanying her) intends to cohabit with her. They said: Yes. Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: I have decided to curse him with such a curse as may go along with him to his grave. How can he own him (the child to be born) and that is not lawful for him, and how can he take him as a servant for that is not lawful for him?
وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ أَتَى بِامْرَأَةٍ مُجِحٍّ عَلَى بَابِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَعَلَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُلِمَّ بِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَلْعَنَهُ لَعْنًا يَدْخُلُ مَعَهُ قَبْرَهُ كَيْفَ يُوَرِّثُهُ وَهُوَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ كَيْفَ يَسْتَخْدِمُهُ وَهُوَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet of Allah's (PBUH) reaction to an unlawful act. In this hadith, the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) came across a man who was about to cohabit with a pregnant woman. This act is forbidden in Islam and so the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) became very angry and cursed the man for his actions. He said that he would curse him with such a curse that would follow him until his grave. The lesson from this hadith is that we should always stay away from any kind of unlawful acts as it will bring us nothing but harm in this life and in the hereafter. We should also strive to do good deeds as they will benefit us both in this life and in the hereafter.
