(12). 3004. Sālim bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar narrated from his father: "On the Day of Uḥud, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'O Allāh! Curse Abū Sufyān! O Allāh! Curse Al-Ḥārīth bin Hishām! O Allāh! Curse Ṣafwān bin Umayyah!' He said: 'So the following was revealed: Not for you is the decision; whether He turns in mercy towards them [or punishes them].[1] So Allāh turned in mercy towards them, they accepted Islām and their (adherence to) Islām was good.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb, being Gharīb as a narration of 'Umar bin Ḥamzah from Sālim, [from his father]. This is how Az-Zuhrī reported it, from Sālim, from his father. [Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl did not know it as a narration of 'Umar bin Ḥamzah, he knew it as a narration of Az-Zuhrī].

Commentary
The aim of this Āyah is that empowering a nation towards repentance and guidance, or to seize them for their mistakes and errors, is the sole authority of Allāh, irrespective, it is not in the authority of any human.
