Question
I have heard in a lecture that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) once told Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) that: ‘May your hand be cut/paralyzed.’ She sat holding that hand fearfully and upon returning, he (i.e Nabi -sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam-) enquired as to what she was doing. Waiting for your words to take effect was the reply. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) smiled and said: ‘Do you not know the du’a I’ve made for anyone I have cursed? [I have made du’a] That Allah increase goodness and blessings on them. So the effect of my words/ ‘curse’ won’t bring anything but good to you.
