A MERCY TO MANKIND

HADITH OF THE DAY:

A MERCY TO MANKIND

When someone asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to curse the idolators, he replied:

"I have not been sent to invoke curses, but I have been sent as a mercy (to mankind)."

Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1192


A man once asked the Prophet to curse a rival tribe. The Prophet turned away from him twice and then said:

"May God show mercy to (the rival tribe). Their mouths speak peace, their hands provide food and they are people of security and faith."

Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1548
