٣٩٤٢ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: «قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَحْرَقَتْنَا نِبَالُ ثَقِيفٍ،» فَادْعُ اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْ، قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ ثَقِيفًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary
On the occasion of the battle of Tāif when the Thaqif were besieged, they were on higher ground and they were shooting arrows on the Muslims which created a lot of trouble for them, but they themselves were safe from the Muslim's attack. The Companions asked the Prophet ﷺ to curse them, but the Prophet ﷺ being the mercy of the worlds, asked Allāh ﷻ to have mercy on them, and did not ask for Allāh's wrath for them.
