Cursing a colleague with being cut to pieces as a joke

Question:
Some young men joke with their colleague and say, “I ask Allah to make you pieces, pieces,” and then the one being cursed is shocked, and the one who made the supplication says, “May that be for the sake of Allah.” Is this something that should be done?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible, because it is frightening a Muslim; it is frightening a Muslim. It involves exposing him to harm; it involves frightening his brother. This kind of supplication is not permissible. Why not say, “I ask Allah for you martyrdom in the cause of Allah”? And is everyone who is cut a martyr? No, not everyone who is cut is a martyr. But if he says, “I ask Allah for me and for you martyrdom in the cause of Allah,” then that is a good supplication. As for cutting to pieces, that is abominable and does not indicate that he wants martyrdom in the cause of Allah. Yes.
