Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, I was turning my hands over and over. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What has happened to you, have you gone mad? I said: You invoked a curse upon me, so now I am turning my hands over and over to see which hand will be cut off first. Hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praised and glorified Allah, raised his hands and said: O Allah! Indeed, I am a human being and become angry like a human being, so for any believing man or woman upon whom I invoke a curse, make it a means of purity and purification for them.

Curse them. Sayyida said: The people are destroyed (because you have cursed them). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Never! By Allah, O daughter of Abu Bakr!

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you not know the covenant I made with my Lord, the Exalted? I said to my Lord: O Allah!

By Allah! It did not hurt me, but I spent that night in contemplation. I said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, must have struck me only because of something Allah had informed him about me. Then I thought that when morning comes, I will go to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. So Gabriel, peace be upon him, descended upon the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with this message: Surely, you are a guardian, so do not break the horns of your flock (meaning, be gentle with them).

Surely some people followed me, while I did not wish for them to follow me. O Allah! So whoever I struck or spoke harshly to, make that a means of atonement, reward, forgiveness, and mercy for him. Or as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said.

O Allah! Indeed, some people followed me, while I did not wish for them to follow me. O Allah! So, whomever I struck or spoke harshly to, make that for him a means of atonement, reward, forgiveness, and mercy. Or as you, peace and blessings be upon him, said.
