The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer-09b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, and Abu Usamah narrated to us from Hisham from Muhammad from Ubaydah from 'Ali, who said: When the Day of the Confederates came, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 627a.
The Shaykh : In this hadith, there is evidence for the permissibility of invoking a curse upon disbelievers: "May Allah fill their graves and their houses with fire." He mentioned the houses of the dead and the houses of the living. The houses of the dead are the graves, and the houses of the living are referred to by his saying "their houses." But how are the houses of the living filled with fire? Is the intended meaning a metaphorical fire, or a physical fire? The apparent meaning is that it is suitable for both: a metaphorical fire such that when they are in their houses, it is as if they are on hot coals due to the constriction of the chest and the soul; or the meaning is that Allah burns their houses with fire. Both meanings are correct. The Confederates are deserving of this, for they, may Allah protect us from it, uttered the word of disbelief, formed a confederacy against the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and raided him in his own home, bringing a great lie. Adam.
May Allah fill their graves and houses with fire, as they detained us and diverted us from the middle prayer, till the sun set.
