Anger

What he said about a curse spoken in traffic

The mountain pass had narrowed and everyone was stuck.

لاَ تُصَاحِبُنَا نَاقَةٌ عَلَيْهَا لَعْنَةٌ

Lā tuṣāḥibunā nāqatun ʿalayhā laʿnah

No camel travels with us that has a curse on it.

Where this comes from

A young woman was on a camel loaded with people's luggage. The pass narrowed, she caught sight of the Prophet, and in the crush she said: move, O Allah curse it. He heard it. He did not scold her. He said this, and the animal was let go.

The full narration

Abu Burza al-Aslami reported that a slave-girl was riding a dromedary and there was also the luggage of people upon it. that she suddenly saw Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). The way of the mountain was narrow and she said (to that dromedary):Go ahead (but that dromedary did not move). She (that slave-girl), out of anger, said: O Allah, let that (dromedary) be damned. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Let the dromedary on which the curse has been invoked not proceed with us
