The Book of the Merits of the Companions
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَدِمَ الطُّفَيْلُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ دَوْسًا قَدْ كَفَرَتْ وَأَبَتْ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهَا ‏.‏ فَقِيلَ هَلَكَتْ دَوْسٌ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ دَوْسًا وَائْتِ بِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
Allah's Messenger, the tribe of Daws has disbelieved and has belied you, so invoke curse upon them. It was said: Let Daws be destroyed, whereupon he (Allah's Messenger) said: Allah guide aright the tribe of Daws and direct them to me.
Narrated by Abu Huraira reported that Tufail and his companions said:

Context

This hadith reflects a moment when the tribe of Daws rejected the message of Islam, prompting some companions to ask the Prophet (ﷺ) to invoke a curse upon them. Instead, the Prophet (ﷺ) chose to pray for their guidance, demonstrating his compassion and commitment to inviting others to faith rather than condemning them.

Modern Application

In our daily interactions, we often encounter differing beliefs and opinions. This hadith encourages us to approach such situations with compassion, seeking to understand and guide others rather than resorting to negativity or hostility.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Community and Prophetic Conduct because it showcases the Prophet's (ﷺ) approach to fostering community and his exemplary conduct in dealing with those who oppose him.

O Messenger, let them not grieve you who hasten into disbelief of those who say, "We believe" with their mouths, but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you. They distort words beyond their [proper] usages, saying "If you are given this, take it; but if you are not given it, then beware." But he for whom Allah intends fitnah - never will you possess [power to do] for him a thing against Allah. Those are the ones for whom Allah does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.
