حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ يُونُسَ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ . نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ عِيسَى فَخَلَوَا بِهِ فَسَبَّهُمَا وَلَعَنَهُمَا وَأَخْرَجَهُمَا .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2600b
This narration reports the same event with a slight wording difference. It says the two men had a private meeting with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, and he spoke harshly to them, cursed them, and sent them out. The meaning connects with the earlier report: the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had asked Allah that for any Muslim he cursed or spoke against, it should be made a source of purity and reward. The focus is not a general permission to curse. The text points to the Prophet's own condition with his Lord and his statement that he was a human being. This hadith about mercy and reward teaches that Allah's mercy is asked for even after a hard moment.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration preserves a wording difference about the private meeting.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked Allah for purity and reward for affected Muslims.
- The report should not be turned into a general habit of cursing.
- Mercy is requested after a moment of anger.
