Is it considered a curse against one's child if a father says, "Sufficient for me is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs," when his child angers him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against cursing one's children. So, if I get angry at my son and say, "Sufficient for me is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs," is this considered a curse against him?

Answer:
Yes, this means you are relying on Allah to protect you from him. "Sufficient for us is Allah" means Allah is sufficient for us, meaning He will protect you from the evil of this child. This is not appropriate. You should control your tongue and be patient with the distressing matters that come from the child. Yes.
