أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ مِنْ الرَّکْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا يَدْعُو عَلَی أُنَاسٍ مِنْ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيْسَ لَکَ مِنْ الْأَمْرِ شَيْئٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1083
It was narrated from Salim, from his father, that he heard the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, when he raised his head in the last Rak’ah of the Subh prayer, say: “Allah, curse so-and so and so-and-so;” supplicating against some of the hypocrites. Then Allah revealed the words: “Not for you is the decision; whether He turns in mercy to (pardon) them or punishes them; verily, they are the wrongdoers.” (Sahih)
