Question:
In the du'a of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he cursed some of the disbelievers, the word of Allah came:[Ali 'Imran 3:128] So what is the ruling on cursing the disbeliever, especially in the du'a of qunut?
Answer:
This is a curse directed at specific individuals. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed certain people by name, so-and-so and so-and-so. Allah knew that they would become Muslims, so these people did become Muslims and their Islam was good. For this reason, He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Ali 'Imran 3:128] And Allah accepted the repentance of these people, so they became Muslims. Yes, Allah knew things about their circumstances that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know. Yes.
In the du'a of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he cursed some of the disbelievers, the word of Allah came:
Not for you, [O Muhammad, but for Allah], is the decision
