Authentic hadithNarrated by Muslim

I have not been sent as an invoker of curses; rather, I have been sent as a mercy

«إِنِّي لَمْ أُبْعَثْ لَعَّانًا، وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ رَحْمَةً».

Translation

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: It was said: O Messenger of Allah, supplicate against the polytheists. He said: "I have not been sent as an invoker of curses; rather, I have been sent as a mercy."

Explanation

The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked to supplicate against those who associated partners with Allah, but he said: I was not sent by Allah as one who curses—invoking exclusion and expulsion from His mercy and cutting people off from good. I was not sent for that; rather, I was sent to be a source of goodness and mercy for all people, especially for the believers.
