Hadith on Curses: Be careful what you curse for, you might get it

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was riding on a journey and a man cursed his she-camel. The Prophet said, “Where is the owner of the she-camel?” The man said, “It is me.” The Prophet said, “Leave her behind, for your curse has been answered.”
