QUR'AN AND SUNNAH There are in the Qur'an several verses where God deprived human populations from Gods blessings (cursed) because of their sins:
::''"O our Lord! give them a double punishment and '''curse them with a great curse'''."
::''"How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their believing and (after) they had borne witness that the Messenger was true and clear arguments had come to them; and Allah does not guide the unjust people. (As for) these, their reward is that upon them is the curse of Allah and the angels and of men, all together." The end of the verse can be understood as ''"As for the unjust, their actions caused them to be deprived from the blessings of God, the angels and humans, all together."'' Also, there are Hadith where Muhammad invoked Gods La'nat upon humans. The most famous hadith regarding invoking Gods curse is the hadith of Mubahela , also mentioned in the Qur'an:
::''"But whoever disputes with you in this matter after what has come to you of knowledge, then say: Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and our near people and your near people, then let us be earnest in prayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars." There was an ongoing treaty with the Christians of Najran in the 9 AH. The treaty was regarded of vital importance, it was not the result either of war. it ended in Mubahela between Muhammad and the Christians of Najran. ref PRACTICE While some Shia have been cursing due to Tabarra , it has sometimes been met with distaste by Sunnis ; they do not believe there are any rewards for cursing. Shia disagree and believe it to be reward for Disassociating From Oppressors . They further argue that the curse is a Prayer , hence God is entitled to not accept the prayer and abstain from invoking the deprivation. Further, cursing is a Sunnah established by God himself in the Qur'an, Sunnat Allah . Shia also present hadith where the Shia Imam s invoked the curse of Allah upon humans. Sunnis are known to have cursed upon Ubaid-Allah Ibn Ziyad : "May Allah curse the son of Ibn Sumiyya (Ibn Ziyad, SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS Sunni view
