The Book of Virtue, Enjoining Good Manners, and Joining of the Ties of Kinship
Sahih

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

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، - يَعْنِيَانِ الْفَزَارِيَّ - عَنْ يَزِيدَ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ كَيْسَانَ - عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي لَمْ أُبْعَثْ لَعَّانًا وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ رَحْمَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏
Invoke curse upon the polytheists, whereupon he said: I have not been sent as the invoker of curse, but I have been sent as mercy."
Narrated by Abu Huraira reported it was said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ):

Context

In this narration, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) responds to a request for a curse upon polytheists by stating that he was not sent to invoke curses but rather as a mercy. This highlights the compassionate nature of his mission and the emphasis on mercy over condemnation, encouraging a more forgiving and understanding approach to others.

Modern Application

In contemporary life, this principle can be applied by promoting understanding and compassion in our interactions with others, even those with differing beliefs. It encourages individuals to focus on kindness and empathy rather than judgment, fostering a more harmonious society.
