Sunan Abi Dawud 705 (Book 2, Hadith 315) #20996
The Power of Prayer and Cursing

SUMMARY: A man was cursed by the Prophet while he was riding a donkey in front of him while he was praying.

Yazid b. Namran said: I saw a crippled man at Tabuk. He (the man) said: I passed riding a donkey in front of the Prophet who was praying. He said (cursing him): O Allah, cut off his walking. Thenceforth I could not walk.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ مَوْلًى، لِيَزِيدَ بْنِ نِمْرَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نِمْرَانَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً بِتَبُوكَ مُقْعَدًا فَقَالَ مَرَرْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ النَّبِيِّ وَأَنَا عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ اقْطَعْ أَثَرَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَمَا مَشَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the power of prayer and cursing. It tells us that when we pray to Allah for something or someone, it can have a powerful effect on them. In this case, the Prophet prayed for a man who was riding a donkey in front of him while he was praying and asked Allah to cut off his walking ability. As a result, the man became crippled and could no longer walk properly. This teaches us that our prayers are very powerful and should be used wisely as they can have serious consequences if not used correctly. We should always remember to pray for good things only so that we don't bring harm upon ourselves or others unintentionally.
