حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَسَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ نِمْرَانَ يَذْکُرُ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَائِ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَائِ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا لَعَنَ شَيْئًا صَعِدَتْ اللَّعْنَةُ إِلَی السَّمَائِ فَتُغْلَقُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَائِ دُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَهْبِطُ إِلَی الْأَرْضِ فَتُغْلَقُ أَبْوَابُهَا دُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا فَإِذَا لَمْ تَجِدْ مَسَاغًا رَجَعَتْ إِلَی الَّذِي لُعِنَ فَإِنْ کَانَ لِذَلِکَ أَهْلًا وَإِلَّا رَجَعَتْ إِلَی قَائِلِهَا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد قَالَ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ هُوَ رَبَاحُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ سَمِعَ مِنْهُ وَذَکَرَ أَنَّ يَحْيَی بْنَ حَسَّانَ وَهِمَ فِيهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4905
Abu al-Darda reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: when a man cures anything, the curse goes up to heaven and the gates of heaven are locked against it. Then it comes down to the earth and its gates are locked against it. Then it goes right and left, and if it finds no place of entrance it returns to the thing which was cursed, and if it finds no place of entrance it returns to the thing which was cursed, and if it deserves what was said (it enters it), otherwise it returns to the one who uttered it. Abu Dawud said: Marwan bin Muhammad said: He is Rabah bin al-Walid who heard from him (nimran). He (Marwan bin Muhammad) said: Yahya bin Hussain was confused in it.
