Is it permissible to supplicate for the destruction of one who has attacked me, and if he falls ill or dies, would I be sinful?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. He says: If a person attacks another and says what he dislikes, insults him, and wounds him, and the one who was attacked becomes angry and volunteers to his Lord to supplicate for his destruction or death or any calamity, and if Allah responds and the oppressor dies or calamities befall him, such as incurable illnesses, for example, does the supplicant bear sin? Guide us, may Allah reward you with good. In any case.
Answer:
The supplication of the wronged person is answered. For this reason, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) warned against oppression, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against oppression, and he informed that the supplication of the wronged person is answered. As Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:[Ibrahim 14:42] As the Exalted said: [Ash-Shu'ara 26:227] As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Mu'adh ibn Jabal, "Beware of..." Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22:246. The supplication of the wronged person is answered. However, the wronged person should not supplicate against his oppressor; that is what he should do. He should be patient and seek reward from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). [Ash-Shuraa 42:40] He should be patient and seek reward, and not supplicate against the one who wronged him. But if he does supplicate, his supplication is answered, and that is the retribution for the oppressor.

As Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:
And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror].
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُAnd those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَAnd the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah.
ودعوة المظلوم فإنه ليس بينها وبين الله حجابbut whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah
فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ
