Sahih al-Bukhari 6394 (Book 80, Hadith 89) #6143
Praying for Divine Retribution

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was very sad when an army detachment he sent out was martyred, and he prayed for Allah's wrath upon the tribe of Usaiya for disobeying Allah and His Apostle.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet sent a Sariya (an army detachment) consisting of men called Al-Qurra', and all of them were martyred. I had never seen the Prophet so sad over anything as he was over them. So he said Qunut (invocation in the prayer) for one month in the Fajr prayer, invoking for Allah's wrath upon the tribe of Usaiya, and he used to say, "The people of Usaiya have disobeyed Allah and His Apostle".
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ سَرِيَّةً يُقَالُ لَهُمُ الْقُرَّاءُ فَأُصِيبُوا، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ وَجَدَ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَا وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَنَتَ شَهْرًا فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ وَيَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ عُصَيَّةَ عَصَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
