Do not Curse...

July 5, 2005 : 29 Jumad ul-Ula 1426 H

Assalaamu 'alaikum.

I just came across this hadeeth and I felt it a duty to share. It corresponds with the theme of controlling the tongue - especially during times of anger. Be sure to allow this hadeeth to sink in. Read it more than once if you have to.

Was-salaamu 'alaikum

Narrated Jaabir ibn 'Abdullaah:
We set out along with Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) on an expedition of Batn Buwat. He (the Holy Prophet) was in search of al-Majdi ibn Amr al-Juhani. (We had such meagre equipment) that five, six or seven of us had one camel to ride and so we rode it in turn. Once it was the turn of an Ansari to ride the camel. He made it kneel down in order to mount it (and after having mounted it), he tried to make it rise but it hesitated. So he said: May there be the curse of Allah upon you! Thereupon Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said: Who is that cursing his camel? He said: Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) it is I. Thereupon he said: Dismount from the camel and let us not have in our company the one who curses. Don't curse yourselves, nor your children, nor your belongings. There is the possibility that your curse may synchronise with the time when Allah is about to confer upon you what you demand and thus your prayer may be readily answered. [Saheeh Muslim]

Assalamualaikum Sis,

Oh my! You just popped into my mind this evening and I thought I should write in to find out how you are. The London bombings I mean, I sincerely hope none of your loved ones were involved.
Was your area affected? How you holding up over there? Hope all is well.

May Allah watch over you and your family.
