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

Anas b. Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah observed Qunut for a month in the dawn prayer after ruku' and invoked curse upon Bani Usayya.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَنَتَ شَهْرًا بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ يَدْعُو عَلَى بَنِي عُصَيَّةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's practice of praying for a month in the dawn prayer, known as Qunut, and invoking a curse upon Bani Usayya. Qunut is an Arabic term that refers to supplicating to Allah during prayer. It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad would recite certain verses from the Quran while performing this act of supplication. During this particular instance, he invoked a curse upon Bani Usayya, which was an ancient tribe living near Medina at that time. This act was done as part of his mission to spread justice and peace among all people regardless of their background or beliefs. The lesson here is that we should always strive to be just and merciful towards others even if they have wronged us or our community in some way. We should also remember that Allah alone has the power to punish those who do wrong and it is not our place to do so ourselves without His permission or guidance.
