Question:
Shaykh Salih, the difference between the phrase “May Allah curse” and “May the Messenger of Allah curse.”
Answer:
There is no difference between them. If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed someone, it is as if Allah and the Messenger cursed him. When he said, “May Allah curse the one who does such-and-such,” it is possible that he was invoking a curse upon him, and it is possible that he was reporting that Allah had cursed him. There is no difference between the two. Yes.
