"بُعِثْتُ رَحمةً، وَلَم أُبعَثْ لَعَّانًا, (وَيُروَى) عَذابًا؛ حِينَ سُئِلَ أَن يَدْعُوَ اللهَ عَلَى المُشْرِكين".  

[م] مسلم [ع] أبو يعلى عن أَبي هريرة

Invoke curse upon the polytheists, whereupon he said: I have not been sent as the invoker of curse, but I have been sent as mercy."  

مسلم:٢٥٩٩ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ يَعْنِيَانِ الْفَزَارِيَّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أُبْعَثْ لَعَّانًا وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ رَحْمَةً
