Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to invoke evil upon somebody or invoke good upon somebody, he used to invoke (Allah after bowing (in the prayer). Sometimes after saying, "Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him, all praise is for You, O our Lord," he would say, "O Allah. Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham, and ʿAiyash bin Abu Rabiʿa. O Allah! Inflict Your Severe Torture on Mudar (tribe) and strike them with (famine) years like the years of Joseph." The Prophet ﷺ used to say in a loud voice, and he also used to say in some of his Fajr prayers, "O Allah! Curse soand- so and so-and-so." naming some of the Arab tribes till Allah revealed:--"Not for you (O Muhammad) (but for Allah) is the decision." (3.128) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4560)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ أَوْ يَدْعُوَ لِأَحَدٍ يَقْنُتُ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ فَرُبَّمَا قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ يَجْهَرُ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي بَعْضِ صَلَوَاتِهِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا لَأَحْيَاءٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ} [آل عمران 128]  

(When) Messenger of Allah ﷺ (wished to invoke curse or blessing on someone, he would do so at the end) of the recitation in the dawn prayer, when he had pronounced Allah-o-Akbar (for bending) and then lifted his head (saying):" Allah listened to him who praised Him; our Lord! to Thee is all praise" ; he would then stand up and say:" Rescue al-Walid b. Walid, Salama b. Hisham, and 'Ayyash b. Abd Rabi'a, and the helpless among the Muslims. O Allah! trample severely Mudar and cause them a famine (which broke out at the time) of Joseph. O Allah! curse Lihyan, Ri'l, Dhakwan, 'Usayya, for they disobeyed Allah and His Messenger." (The narrator then adds): The news reached us that he abandoned (this) when this verse was revealed:" Thou but no concern in the matter whether He turns to them (mercifully) or chastises them; surely they are wrongdoers" (ill. 127) (Using translation from Muslim 675a)   

أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَيُكَبِّرُ وَيَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ وَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ وَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ لَحْيَانَ وَرِعْلًا وَذَكْوَانَ وَعُصَيَّةَ عَصَتِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ثُمَّ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّهُ تَرَكَ ذَلِكَ لَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ} [آل عمران 128]  

When the Prophet ﷺ (once) raised his head after bowing [in the Salat (prayer)] he said, "O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham and 'Aiyyash bin Abu Rabi'a and the helpless weak believers of Makkah. O Allah, be hard on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, send on them (famine-drought) years like the (famine-drought) years of (the Prophet) Yusuf (Joseph)." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6200)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنَ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , while he was performing the Isha prayer, when he said, "Allah listens to the one who praises Him," then he said, "O Allah, save Ayash ibn Abi Rabia, O Allah, save Salamah ibn Hisham, O Allah, save Al-Walid ibn Al-Walid, O Allah, save the oppressed believers. O Allah, strengthen Your punishment upon Mudar. O Allah, let it be upon them for years, like the years of Yusuf."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

While the Prophet ﷺ was offering the ʿIsha' prayer, he said, "Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him," and then said before falling in prostration, "O Allah, save ʿAiyash bin Rabiʿa. O Allah, save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Wahd. O Allah, save the weak ones among the believers. O Allah, let Your punishment be severe on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, inflict upon them years (of famine) like the years of Joseph." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4598)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ قَنَتَ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ  

[Machine] By Allah, I am the closest among you to the Messenger of Allah in prayer. Abu Hurairah used to prolong the last rakah of the Dhuhr and the last rakah of the Isha prayer, and the Fajr prayer after saying: "Allah listens to him who praises Him," he would invoke Allah for the believers and curse the disbelievers. 3090 Abu Ali al-Ruadbari informed us that Muhammad ibn Bakr informed us, on the authority of Abu Dawud, on the authority of Dawud ibn Umayah, on the authority of Muadh ibn Hisham, the author of Al-Dustwaiyy, who said: My father narrated to me, and he mentioned it with the same meaning, except that he said, "By Allah, I will bring you closer to the prayer of the Messenger of Allah."  

وَاللهِ لَأَنَا أَقْرَبُكُمْ صَلَاةً بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَقْنُتُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ وَعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ بَعْدَمَا يَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَيَدْعُو لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَيَلْعَنُ الْكُفَّارَ 3090 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ ثنا مُعَاذٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِشَامٍ صَاحِبَ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِ مَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَاللهِ لَأُقَرِّبَنَّ بِكُمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray Qunut during Fajr and Maghrib.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْنُتُ فِي الصُّبْحِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to never perform the obligatory prayers without showing humility in them. Muhammad is the son of Anas, the servant of Abu Anas, who was a slave to Umar ibn Al-Khattab. Mutarif is the son of Tareef.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ لَا يُصَلِّي صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً إِلَّا قَنَتَ فِيهَا وَمُحَمَّدٌ هَذَا هُوَ ابْنُ أَنَسٍ أَبُو أَنَسٍ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَمُطَرِّفٌ هُوَ ابْنُ طَرِيفٍ  

[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: "O Allah, curse so-and-so and so-and-so!" Then Allah revealed the verse: "Not for you, [O Muhammad, but for Allah] is the decision whether He should cut them down." [Surah Al-Imran 128]  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ قَالَ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ} [آل عمران 128] الْآيَةُ  

[Machine] That the people of Ri'l, Dhakwan, 'Usayyah, and Bani Lihyan sought help from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ against an enemy, so he provided them with seventy Ansar (helpers). We used to call them "Al-Qurra" during their time. They used to store provisions during the day and pray at night. However, when they reached the well of Ma'unah, they were killed and betrayed. When the Prophet ﷺ was informed of this, he observed a month of prayer at the Fajr (Dawn) prayer for the martyrs from the people of Ri'l, Dhakwan, 'Usayyah, and Bani Lihyan. Anas said, "We recited the Quran with them, and then it was lifted." (Convey our message to our people that we have met our Lord and He is pleased with us and has accepted us.)  

أَنَّ رِعْلًا وَذَكْوَانَ وَعُصَيَّةَ وَبَنِي لَحْيَانَ اسْتَمَدُّوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَدُوًّا فَأَمَدَّهُمْ بِسَبْعِينَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كُنَّا نُسَمِّيهِمُ الْقُرَّاءُ فِي زَمَانِهِمْ كَانُوا يَحْتَطِبُونَ بِالنَّهَارِ وَيُصَلُّونَ بِاللَّيْلِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِبِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ قَتَلُوهُمْ وَغَدَرُوا بِهِمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَنَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَهْرًا يَدْعُو فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ عَلَى أَحْيَاءٍ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ عَلَى رِعْلٍ وَذَكْوَانَ وَعُصَيَّةَ وَبَنِي لَحْيَانَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَقَرَأْنَا بِهِمْ قُرْآنًا ثُمَّ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ رُفِعَ (بَلِّغُوا قَوْمَنَا أَنَّا قَدْ لَقِينَا رَبَّنَا فَرَضِيَ عَنَّا وَأَرْضَانَا  

[Machine] I have never seen the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , get upset with something as much as he did with the people of the Ma'un well and the people of the military expedition of Al-Mundhir ibn 'Amr. He stayed in anger for a whole month, invoking curses upon those who had harmed them during the morning prayers. He invoked curses upon Ri'l, Zakwan, 'Usayyah, Lahyan, and he also mentioned Al-Ahwal, all of whom were mentioned by Anas ibn Malik. They said in the narration that it lasted for a month, and Malik ibn Anas narrated it from Ishaq ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talha from Anas in the same way for thirty mornings. Hammam ibn Yahya also narrated it from Ishaq, and he said forty mornings, while the authentic narration is thirty. This was also narrated by Hammam, and it was narrated from Humaid al-Tawil from Anas in the story of the 'Uraniyyin. He said, "He sent after them (i.e., the people of the Ma'un well and the expedition of Al-Mundhir) traces of what he had invoked upon them in his prayers, twenty-five times. And that story is different from this one, and what is narrated from Humaid in the story of the Qurr'a is correct."  

مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَدَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَطُّ مَا وَجَدَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ بِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ وَأَصْحَابِ سَرِيَّةِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَمَكَثَ شَهْرًا يَدْعُو عَلَى الَّذِينَ أَصَابُوهُمْ فِي قُنُوتِ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ يَدْعُو عَلَى رِعْلٍ وَذَكْوَانَ وَعُصَيَّةَ وَلَحْيَانَ وَرَوَاهُ قَتَادَةُ وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ وَأَبُو مِجْلَزٍ لَاحَقُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَأَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ وَمُوسَى بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَعَاصِمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَحْوَلُ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَقَالُوا فِي الْحَدِيثِ شَهْرًا وَرَوَاهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ كَذَلِكَ ثَلَاثِينَ صَبَاحًا وَرَوَاهُ هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا وَالصَّحِيحُ ثَلَاثِينَ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا عَنْ هَمَّامٍ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ فِي قِصَّةِ الْعُرَنِيِّينَ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ دَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً وَتِلْكَ الْقِصَّةُ غَيْرُ هَذِهِ وَالْمَحْفُوظُ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ فِي قِصَّةِ الْقُرَّاءِ مَا  

[Machine] It is said that Anas ibn Malik heard that a group of young Ansar would listen to the Quran, then go to a corner of the city where their families would think they were in the mosque, while the people of the mosque would think they were with their families. They would pray during the night until dawn approached, some of them would gather firewood and others would fetch fresh water, and then they would head towards the doors of the Prophet's Mosque. The Prophet sent them to the well of Ma'unah, where they were martyred. The Prophet then prayed for those who killed them for fifteen nights, and so on.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَ شَبَابٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ثُمَّ يَتَنَحَّوْنَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ يَحْسَبُ أَهْلُوهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَيَحْسَبُ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ أَنَّهُمْ فِي أَهْلِيهِمْ فَيُصَلُّونَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى إِذَا تَقَارَبَ الصُّبْحُ احْتَطَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَاسْتَقَى بَعْضُهُمْ مِنَ الْمَاءِ الْعَذْبِ ثُمَّ يُقْبِلُونَ حَتَّى يَضَعُوا حِزَمَهُمْ وَقِرَبَهُمْ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ حُجَرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى بِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ فَاسْتُشْهِدُوا كُلُّهُمْ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "He used to recite supplications (Qunut) during Maghrib and Fajr (prayers)."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ الْقُنُوتُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْغَدَاةِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the supplication (Qunut) daily for a month at the noon, afternoon, sunset, night and morning prayers. When he said: "Allah listens to him who praises Him" in the last rak'ah, invoking a curse on some clans of Banu Sulaym, Ri'l, Dhakwan and Usayyah, and those who were standing behind him said: Amen. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1443)   

قَنَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَهْرًا مُتَتَابِعًا فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ وَالصُّبْحِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ إِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ يَدْعُو عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَعَلَى رِعْلٍ وَذَكْوَانَ وَعُصَيَّةَ وَيُؤَمِّنْ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ وَكَانَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ هَذَا مِفْتَاحُ الْقُنُوتِ  

0 Allah I curse the tribes of Lihyan, Ri'l, Dhakwan, and 'Usayya for they disobeyed Allah and His Messenger ﷺ. Allah pardoned (the tribe of) Ghifar and Allah granted protection to (the tribe of) Aslam (Using translation from Muslim 679a)   

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ بَنِي لَحْيَانَ وَرِعْلًا وَذَكْوَانَ وَعُصَيَّةُ عَصَوَا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَغِفَارُ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا وَأَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللهُ
