Surah Al-Isra (الإسراء) • The Night Journey

Quran 17:11

17:11

وَيَدْعُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ بِٱلشَّرِّ دُعَآءَهُۥ بِٱلْخَيْرِ ۖ وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ عَجُولًا

wayadʿu l-insānu bil-shari duʿāahu bil-khayri wakāna l-insānu ʿajūlan

Yet man prays for harm, just as he prays for good: man is ever hasty.

And man invokes (Allâh) for evil as he invokes (Allâh) for good and man is ever hasty [i.e., if he is angry with somebody, he invokes (saying): "O Allâh! Curse him" and that one should not do, but one should be patient].
