Sahih Muslim 2600a (Book 45, Hadith 112) #13690
The Power of Intentional Cursing

SUMMARY: Invoking curse upon someone can be a source of purity and reward if done with the right intention.

A'isha reported that two persons visited Allah's Messenger and both of them talked about a thing, of which I am not aware, but that annoyed him and he invoked curse upon both of them and hurled malediction, and when they went out I said: Allah's Messenger, the good would reach everyone but it would not reach these two. He said: Why so? I said: Because you have invoked curse and hurled malediction upon both of them. He said: Don't you know that I have made condition with my Lord saying thus: O Allah, 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.
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَجُلاَنِ فَكَلَّمَاهُ بِشَىْءٍ لاَ أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ فَأَغْضَبَاهُ فَلَعَنَهُمَا وَسَبَّهُمَا فَلَمَّا خَرَجَا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَصَابَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْئًا مَا أَصَابَهُ هَذَانِ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَمَا ذَاكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ لَعَنْتَهُمَا وَسَبَبْتَهُمَا قَالَ ‏"‏ أَوَمَا عَلِمْتِ مَا شَارَطْتُ عَلَيْهِ رَبِّي قُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ فَأَىُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَعَنْتُهُ أَوْ سَبَبْتُهُ فَاجْعَلْهُ لَهُ زَكَاةً وَأَجْرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the power of intentional cursing. It teaches us that when we invoke curse or hurl malediction upon someone, it can be a source of purity and reward if done with the right intention. This means that even though cursing may seem like an act of aggression, it can actually have positive effects if done for the right reasons. For example, one might invoke curse on someone who has wronged them in order to seek justice or to protect others from harm. In this way, intentional cursing can be seen as an act of self-defense or protection for those around us. The Prophet Muhammad also taught us that we should always strive to forgive those who have wronged us instead of seeking revenge through cursing or other forms of aggression. By doing so, we are able to maintain peace and harmony in our relationships with others while still protecting ourselves from harm.
