ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.
Sometimes a believer may run into the situation of someone cursing them every day for years or even decades. There really are only 2 categories of why a believer would be experiencing this.
1. They actually lost favor (Nafiya) with Allah (swt).
2. Someone else lost favor (Nafiya) with Allah (swt) and want you to be the "Fall Guy", scapegoat, or sacrifice for them.
It is very important to ask Allah (swt) 2 things:
1. What are my rights against this?
2. What are the ordinances on offering a sacrifice or scapegoat to Allah (swt).
For number 1, the questions I would ask would be:
A. Don't I have the right to seek of the bounties of Allah (swt) in the land and be productive and righteous? And then Allah (swt) taught me about Nabi Salih (Salaha) (epbuh).
B. Don't I have the right to study and seek knowledge about religion and career? And then Allah (swt) taught me about Nabi Idris (Darasa) (epbuh).
C. Don't I have the right to trade merchandise that I wish to trade on the trade tables? And Allah (swt) taught me about Nabi Shuaybi (epbuh).
D. Don't I have the right to have freedom of movement to be productive, righteous and faithful in the land? And then Allah (swt) taught me about the Bankruptcy Ayats of the Holy Quran in Surahtul Muhammad (epbuh) Ayats 1, 32, 33, 34; and Surahtul Nahli Ayat 88.
For number 2 above, I did some amount of research on the Ordinances of Offering Sacrifices and Scapegoats to Allah (swt).
imgs - Treacherous (throw back Covenant reminder), Cancel not your Charity by..., Hinderers (Bankruptcy ayats), La Wazira (release from being a scapegoat, sacrifice, or fall guy for someone else).
No one should feel that they have years or decades to curse someone or make them their bearer of their burdens. Who has accumulated so many good deeds upon the Scales of Allah's Judgment that they can afford to take time off from stacking good deeds and earn evil deeds every day for years or decades through cursing a believer minding their own business? That would be unjust. Those who are unjust, abusive, wicked, oppressive to believing Muslims are classified as Zalimun. When you find this type then ask Allah (swt) to condemn them for eternity as Zalimun. And also ask Allah (swt) that if they wish to be retaliatory or angry with anyone then they should be angry with themselves because it was their own actions and deeds that defined them as such.
Amin.
