Explanation of the Hadith of Salim ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them)

The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The chapter on the fact that a believer is not a curser." He narrated with his chain, which is hasan, from Salim ibn 'Abd Allah, who said: "I never heard 'Abd Allah cursing anyone, not even a human being." And Salim used to say: 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
Salim ibn 'Abd Allah is Salim ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. He is a Tabi'i, the son of a Companion, the son of a Companion. 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, both of them are Companions. So Salim, who is the son of 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar, narrates from his father, or rather, about what concerns his father, and about his character and the purity of his tongue. He says: "I never heard 'Abd Allah cursing anyone in his entire life, except for one person, once, when his tongue slipped and he cursed him." In some narrations outside the book of al-Bukhari, with the aforementioned chain, it is stated that the one he cursed was a servant of his, meaning a slave owned by him. It appears that he sent him on an urgent errand, but he delayed in it, so he became very angry with him and could not control himself except to curse him. If it were up to my wish, I would wish that the narration reported by al-Bayhaqi in his book "Shu'ab al-Iman" were authentic. I wish that this narration were authentic, but there is a break in its chain. Why? Because it is explained that he did not complete the word "cursed." He said "May Allah curse him," and the narration came as: "L-A" (lam and 'ayn), then he realized and stopped. This narration has a break in its chain. The authentic and explicit narration is that he did not curse anyone in his life except one person, once. And the other narration, as we mentioned earlier, explained that the reason for the curse was that this curse was directed at a servant, a slave owned by him. But in an authentic narration, and this reality indicates that when this noble Companion made a mistake, he quickly reviewed himself, acting in accordance with some of the noble verses and Prophetic hadiths that say: What did 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar do? After he remembered that he had done something that is not permissible for a Muslim, he hastened to free that slave for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So this was undoubtedly an expiation. What an expiation for such a verbal mistake! After Salim narrates this incident from his father 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar, and that he did not curse a person except once, as we explained, he says that 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar used to narrate from the Messenger (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) that he used to say: Meaning: It is not permissible for a Muslim to practice and habituate his tongue to cursing anything, whether the thing he curses is a person, an animal, or an inanimate object; because all of that is from the creation of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He).
