Invoking Curse in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed for a month in the dawn prayer and invoked curse upon three people.

Anas b. Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah observed Qunut for a month in the dawn prayer after ruku' and invoked curse upon Ri'l, Dhakwan, and said that Usaiya had disobeyed Allah and His Apostle .
وَحَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ مُعَاذٍ - حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَنَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ شَهْرًا بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ فِي صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ يَدْعُو عَلَى رِعْلٍ وَذَكْوَانَ وَيَقُولُ ‏ "‏ عُصَيَّةُ عَصَتِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Obey God's Commands at all times

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known to be a very merciful man, but he also had a strong sense of justice. He would often pray for his enemies and those who wronged him, but there were times when he felt that invoking curse was necessary. This is what happened when Anas b. Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah observed Qunut for a month in the dawn prayer after ruku' and invoked curse upon Ri'l, Dhakwan, and said that Usaiya had disobeyed Allah and His Apostle. Qunut is an Arabic term which means “standing” or “supplication”; it is usually done during the morning prayer as an act of supplication to God asking Him to grant one's wishes or requests. In this case, it was used by the Prophet Muhammad as an act of invoking curse upon three people who had wronged him or disobeyed Allah's commands - Ri'l, Dhakwan, and Usaiya - as punishment for their actions. This shows us how important it is to obey God's commands at all times because even if we are wronged by someone else we should still seek justice through proper channels instead of taking matters into our own hands.
