Musnad Ahmad 1134 (Book 5, Hadith 550) #34776
Praying for Retribution

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ prayed to Allah to fill the houses and graves of those who distracted him from praying until sunset.

It was narrated from 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) that On the day of al-Ahzab, the Prophet said: 'O Allah, fill their houses and graves with fire as they distracted us from the middle prayer until the sunset'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ السَّلْمَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ اللَّهُمَّ امْلَأْ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَقُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا كَمَا شَغَلُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى حَتَّى آبَتْ الشَّمْسُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of al-Ahzab, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was disturbed from his middle prayer until sunset. He was so upset that he prayed to Allah asking Him to fill their houses and graves with fire as retribution for distracting him from his prayer. This hadith teaches us that we should not distract others when they are in a state of worship or prayer as it is disrespectful and can be seen as an act of aggression. It also teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions and how they may affect others around us. We should strive to create an environment where everyone can feel safe and respected while engaging in acts of worship or prayer without fear or distraction.
