Is a father's saying to his son—when the latter asks him for something—"May Allah make you a qārūrah (flask)" considered mockery?

The answer

It is impermissible to supplicate against children, even in jest, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade supplicating against oneself, one's children, or one's wealth, out of fear of coinciding with a time when supplications are answered. Furthermore, it falls under exceeding the bounds in supplication. However, if the father intends by his saying "O Qārūrah" (O bottle/flask) to allude to what the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Anjashah the camel-driver, "Gently with theārūrah (flasks/bottles)," meaning women, due to their delicacy and weakness, then there is no harm in this, and it is not mockery.
