[Machine] He said, "Khuwafah ibn Ima'ah reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed a ruku' (bowing) and then raised his head and said, "O Allah, you have forgiven her (referring to a woman named Ghifarah) and granted her peace. Allah and His Messenger have disobeyed her. O Allah, curse Banu Lahyan, Ri'ilan, and Dhakwan." Then he went down into prostration. Khalid said, "Because of this incident, the curse of Allah was placed upon the disbelievers."  

البيهقي:٣١٣٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ خُفَافٍ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ خُفَافُ بْنُ إِيمَاءٍ رَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ غِفَارُ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا وَأَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللهُ وَعُصَيَّةُ عَصَتِ اللهِ وَرَسُولَهُ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ بَنِي لَحْيَانَ وَالْعَنْ رِعْلًا وَذَكْوَانَ ثُمَّ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَجُعِلَتْ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ الْكَفَرَةَ لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ  

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةَ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ حُجْرٍ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ خُفَافٌ فَجُعِلَتْ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّهُ أَفْتَى بِالْقُنُوتِ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ

So far as the tribe of Ghifar is concerned, Allah had pardoned it, and Allah had granted protection to the tribe of Aslam, and as for the tribe of Usayya, It had disobeyed Allah and His Messenger, (and further said): O Allah! curse the tribe of Lihyan curse Ri'l, and Dhakwan, and then fell in prostration. It is after this that the cursing of the unbelievers got a sanction.  

مسلم:٦٧٩b – وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ خُفَافٍ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ خُفَافُ بْنُ إِيمَاءٍ رَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ غِفَارُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهَا وَأَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللَّهُ وَعُصَيَّةُ عَصَتِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ بَنِي لِحْيَانَ وَالْعَنْ رِعْلاً وَذَكْوَانَ ثُمَّ وَقَعَ سَاجِدًا قَالَ خُفَافٌ فَجُعِلَتْ لَعْنَةُ الْكَفَرَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed a prostration in prayer, then he raised his head and said: "Ghifār is the one for whom Allah forgave, and Aslam is the one for whom Allah granted peace. And ʿUṣayyah is the one who disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. O Allah, curse the Banī Laḥyān. O Allah, curse Riʿlān and Dhakwān." Then he raised his voice and performed a bow and prostrated saying: "Khufāf." Thus, the curse of disbelief was established for that reason.  

أحمد:١٦٥٧١ – حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ خُفَافٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ خُفَافِ بْنِ إِيمَاءِ بْنِ رَحَضَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ قَالَ

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ performed the prayer and then raised his head and said, "Ghifārun Ghafar Allāhu lahā wa aslamu sālamahā Allāhu wa 'uṣayyatuhu 'aṣat Allāha wa Rasūlahu, allāhumma l'an Banī Lihyān, allāhumma l'an Ri'alān wa Dhakwān." Then he Allāhu Akbar [said the takbir] and fell into prostration. He said, "He cursed the disbelievers because of that."
