Sunan Ibn Majah 1934 (Book 9, Hadith 90) #31286
Cursing Those Who Change Natural States

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad cursed those who change the natural state of things and those who help them do so.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah cursed the Muhallil and the Muhallal lahu".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، عَنْ زَمْعَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَهْرَامَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ الْمُحَلِّلَ وَالْمُحَلَّلَ لَهُ

Respect nature by not trying to change it unnecessarily .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad was known for his mercy and kindness to all people. However, he also had a strong sense of justice and would not hesitate to curse someone if they deserved it. In this hadith, the Prophet is cursing two types of people - the Muhallil and the Muhallal lahu. The first type is someone who changes something from its natural state - for example, cutting down a tree or changing an animal's habitat in some way. The second type is someone who helps them do this - for example, providing tools or advice on how to carry out such an act. Both types of people are seen as wrongdoers in Islam because they are damaging something that Allah has created in its perfect form and should be left alone. This hadith teaches us that we should respect nature and not try to change it unnecessarily as it can have serious consequences both on our environment as well as our spiritual wellbeing.
