حَدَّثَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ

أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ بَعَثَ إِلَى أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ بِأَنْجَادٍ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ قَامَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَدَعَا خَادِمَهُ فَكَأَنَّهُ أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَعَنَهُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ سَمِعْتُكَ اللَّيْلَةَ لَعَنْتَ خَادِمَكَ حِينَ دَعَوْتَهُ.

فَقَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَكُونُ اللَّعَّانُونَ شُفَعَاءَ وَلَا شُهَدَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan sent some domestic goods for decoration to Umm Darda on his own behalf, and when it was night Abd al-Malik got up and called for the servant. It seemed as if he (the servant) was late (in responding to his call), so he (Abd al-Malik) invoked curse upon him, and when it was morning Umm Darda said to him: I heard you cursing your servant during the night when you called him, and she said: I heard Abu Darda as saying that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The invoker of curse would neither be intercessor nor witness on the Day of Resurrection.

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু রাফি' (রহঃ) ... যুহরী থেকে এ সানাদে বর্ণনা করেন যে, এক ব্যক্তি রমাযানের সওম ভেঙ্গে ফেলার কারণে রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাকে এর কাফফারাহ হিসেবে একটি গোলাম আযাদ করার নির্দেশ দিলেন। অতঃপর তিনি ইবনু উয়ায়নার অনুরূপ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেন।

محمد بن رافع ، اسحا ق بن عیسیٰ ، مالک ، حضرت زہری سے اس سندکے ساتھ روایت ہے کہ ایک آدمی نے رمضان میں روزہ افطار کرلیا تو ر سول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اسے حکم فرمایاکہ ایک غلام آزاد کرکے کفارہ ادا کرے پھر ابن عینیہ کی حدیث کی طرح حدیث ذکر فرمائی ۔

Bize Muhammed b. Rafi' rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize İshali b. İsa rivayet etti, (Dediki) Bize Mâlik, Zührî'den naklen bu İsnâdla haber verdi ki, bir adam Ramazanda orucunu bozmuş da Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ona bir köle azat etmek suretiyle keffâret vermesini emir buyurmuş. Sonra Zührî, İbni Uyeyne hadîsi gibi rivayette bulunmuş

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that whoever frequently and unjustly curses others deserves two punishments: First: He will not be a witness on the Day of Judgment over the nations that the divine messages were conveyed to them through their messengers; his testimony will not be accepted in this world due to his defiant disobedience; and he will not be granted martyrdom, which is dying in the way of Allah.

Second: He will not be able to intercede on the Day of Judgment when the believers intercede for their brothers who have deserved the Hellfire.

What it teaches

  • Cursing is prohibited and its frequent practice is a major sin.
  • The punishment in the Hadīth is specifically for those who frequently curse, not for a single instance or similar situations. What is also excluded is permissible cursing, which refers to what is legislated in the Shariah about cursing those who possess condemned attributes without specifying individuals, such as saying: "May Allah curse the Jews and Christians," "May the curse of Allah be upon the oppressors," "May Allah curse the image-makers," "May Allah curse those who engage in the actions of the people of Lot," "May Allah curse those who sacrifice to other than Allah," and "May Allah curse those men who imitate women and those women who imitate men," and so on.
  • Affirming the believers' intercession on the Day of Judgment.
