Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2598b
This narration reports the same meaning through the chain of Zaid b. Aslam. Its main message stays with the hadith about cursing: those who are known for invoking curses are warned in relation to the Day of Resurrection. Because the text says it is like the meaning of the earlier narration, the focus remains on the danger of making curses part of one's speech. It is a reminder that anger does not excuse every word. A person may feel delayed, offended, or annoyed, but the tongue still needs control. This hadith on cursing in Islam teaches careful speech and a serious view of words spoken against others.
What we learn from this hadith
- Repeated narration gives weight to the warning against cursing.
- A believer should not become known as a person who curses.
- Anger should not lead to careless words against others.
- The Day of Resurrection is mentioned as a serious reminder.
