.The Third: On their denying him, God’s Noble Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace) prayed that a large Arab tribe called the Mudariyya would be afflicted with drought and famine body {font-family:'Thorndale AMT',serif;font-size:12.0pt} The Third: On their denying him, God’s Noble Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace) prayed that a large Arab tribe called the Mudariyya would be afflicted with drought and famine. All rain ceased and drought and famine occurred. Then the Quraysh, a branch of the Mudariyya, pleaded with the Noble Messenger (UWBP), and he prayed. Whereupon the rains came and put an end to the drought.1 The incident was well-known enough to be reported unanimously.F i f t h E x a m p l e : The fact that the Messenger’s (UWBP) maledictions against particular persons were accepted and realized in a dreadful way is illustrated by numerous instances. We shall recount three of these by way of example.The First: He uttered the following curse against ‘Utba b. Abi Lahab: “O God, beset a dog on him from among your dogs!” Some time later ‘Utba went on a journey during which a lion sought him out from among the caravan, and tore him to pieces.2 This incident was famous and is narrated as authentic by the authorities on Hadith.The Second: This is Muhallim b. Jaththama: he unjustly killed ‘Amir b. Adbat, whom God’s Messenger (UWBP) had sent him as the commander of a force to fight in God’s way. When the news of this reached the Messenger (UWBP), he was angry and cursed Muhallim, saying: “O God, do not grant forgiveness to Muhallim!” Muhallim died a week later. They put him in his grave, but the grave cast him out. They buried him in several different places, but each time the grave rejected him. Finally they built a strong wall between two rocks, and in this way the corpse was housed.3The Third: Once God’s Noble Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace) saw a man eating with his left hand. He ordered him to eat with his right hand. The man replied: “I can’t.” The Messenger (UWBP) said as a malediction: “Henceforth you will be unable to raise it.” And after that he was unable to use it.4S i x t h E x a m p l e : Here, out of the numerous wonders resulting from prayers of the Noble Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace), and from his touch, we shall mention several incidents which are certain.
