Question:
Is the hadith that was reported regarding "I could not" a curse upon the man who said "I could not"?
Answer:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was eating with his right hand, [and the man] with his left. The Prophet said to him:Sahih Muslim 2021, but he did not raise it to his mouth; for nothing prevented him but arrogance. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed him, and Allah answered his supplication. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
