Sahih Muslim 677f (Book 5, Hadith 383) #8694
Grief of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was deeply grieved by the loss of seventy men who were killed at Bi'r Ma'una and invoked curse upon their murderers for a month.

'Asim reported - I heard Anas saying: Never did I ace the Messenger of Allah so much grieved (at the loss of a) small army as I saw him grieved at those seventy men who were called" reciters" (and were killed) at Bi'r Ma'una; and he invoked curse for full one month upon their murderers.
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَجَدَ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ مَا وَجَدَ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ الَّذِينَ أُصِيبُوا يَوْمَ بِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ كَانُوا يُدْعَوْنَ الْقُرَّاءَ فَمَكَثَ شَهْرًا يَدْعُو عَلَى قَتَلَتِهِمْ
