24. Disparaging
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ اسْتَبَّ رَجُلاَنِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَبَّ أَحَدُهُمَا وَالْآخَرُ سَاكِتٌ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ رَدَّ الْآخَرُ فَنَهَضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقِيلَ نَهَضْتَ؟ قَالَ نَهَضَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ فَنَهَضْتُ مَعَهُمْ إِنَّ هَذَا مَا كَانَ سَاكِتًا رَدَّتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ عَلَى الَّذِي سَبَّهُ فَلَمَّا رَدَّ نَهَضَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ
✧ From Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: Two men reviled each other in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One of them insulted the other while the other remained silent, with the Prophet ﷺ sitting. Then the other responded, so the Prophet ﷺ stood up. It was said: "You stood up?" He said: "The angels stood up, so I stood up with them. As long as this one was silent, the angels responded on his behalf to the one who insulted him; but when he responded, the angels stood up."
أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَاهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلاً نَالَ مِنْكِ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَقَالَتْ إِنْ نُؤْبَنَ بِمَا لَيْسَ فِينَا فَطَالَمَا زُكِّينَا بِمَا لَيْسَ فِينَا
✧ That a man came to her and said: "A man disparaged you in the presence of ʿAbd al-Malik." She said: "If we are accused of what is not in us, how often have we been praised for what is not in us."
قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِصَاحِبِهِ أَنْتَ عَدُوِّي فَقَدْ خَرَجَ أَحَدُهُمَا مِنَ الإِسْلاَمِ أَوْ بَرِئ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ
✧ The man said to his companion: "You are my enemy," then one of them has left Islam or is free from his companion.
عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ
✧ Removing from the road is charity.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُسْتَبَّانِ مَا قَالاَ فَعَلَى الْبَادِئِ مَا لَمْ يَعْتَدِ الْمَظْلُومُ
✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "When two people revile one another, what they say is upon the one who started, as long as the wronged one does not transgress."
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 424Hasan or sahih
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُسْتَبَّانِ مَا قَالاَ فَعَلَى الْبَادِئِ حَتَّى يَعْتَدِيَ الْمَظْلُومُ
✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "When two people revile one another, what they say is upon the one who started, until the wronged one transgresses."
وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَضْهُ؟ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ نَقْلُ الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ بَعْضِ النَّاسِ إِلَى بَعْضٍ لِيُفْسِدُوا بَيْنَهُمْ
✧ The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you know what al-ʿaḍh is?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Conveying talk from some people to others in order to corrupt them."
وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ أَنْ تَوَاضَعُوا وَلاَ يَبْغِ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ
✧ The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has revealed to me that you should be humble, and no one should wrong another."
عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ يَسُبُّنِي؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَهَاتَرَانِ وَيَتَكَاذَبَانِ
✧ ʿIyāḍ b. Ḥimār said, "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, a man insults me?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Two people who insult one another are two shaytans, accusing and lying to each other.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ أَنْ تَوَاضَعُوا حَتَّى لاَ يَبْغِيَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ وَلاَ يَفْخَرَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَبَّنِي فِي مَلَأٍ هُمْ أَنْقُصُ مِنِّي فَرَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ هَلْ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ جُنَاحٌ؟ قَالَ الْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَهَاتَرَانِ وَيَتَكَاذَبَانِ قَالَ عِيَاضٌ وَكُنْتُ حَرْبًا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَهْدَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ نَاقَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْهَا وَقَالَ إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ زَبْدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah revealed to me that you should be humble so that no one wrongs another or boasts over another." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man insults me in a gathering where I am superior to him and I reply to him—is there any sin on me for that?" He said, "Two people who insult one another are two shaytans, accusing and lying to each other." ʿIyāḍ said, "I had been at war with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I gave him a she-camel as a gift before I became Muslim, but he did not accept it, saying, 'I dislike the gift of an idolater.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ سِبَابُ الْمُسْلِمِ فُسُوقٌ
✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Insulting a Muslim is wickedness."
عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَاحِشًا وَلاَ لَعَّانًا وَلاَ سَبَّابًا كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْمَعْتَبَةِ مَا لَهُ تَرِبَ جَبِينُهُ
✧ Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not obscene, nor a curser, nor an insulter. When he reproached someone, he would say, 'What is wrong with him? May his forehead be dusty!'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سِبَابُ الْمُسْلِمِ فُسُوقٌ وَقِتَالُهُ كُفْرٌ
✧ From the Prophet ﷺ: "Insulting a Muslim is wickedness, and fighting him is disbelief."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَرْمِي رَجُلٌ رَجُلاً بِالْفُسُوقِ وَلاَ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْكُفْرِ إِلاَّ ارْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ صَاحِبُهُ كَذَلِكَ
✧ I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "No man accuses another of wickedness or disbelief except that it returns upon him if his companion is not as he said."
سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنِ ادَّعَى لِغَيْرِ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ وَمَنِ ادَّعَى قَوْمًا لَيْسَ هُوَ مِنْهُمْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَنْ دَعَا رَجُلاً بِالْكُفْرِ أَوْ قَالَ عَدُوُّ اللهِ وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ إِلا حَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ
✧ He heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Whoever claims descent from someone other than his father while he knows it has disbelieved. Whoever claims to belong to a people who are not his own, let him take his seat in the Fire. And whoever calls a man a disbeliever or says 'enemy of Allah' when he is not that, it returns upon him."
سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ صُرَدٍ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اسْتَبَّ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَاشْتَدَّ غَضَبُهُ حَتَّى انْتَفَخَ وَجْهُهُ وَتَغَيَّرَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الَّذِي يَجِدُ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ تَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَقَالَ أَتَرَى بِي بَأْسًا أَمَجْنُونٌ أَنَا؟ اذْهَبْ
✧ I heard Sulaymān b. Ṣurad, a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, say: "Two men insulted each other in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, and one of them became angry and his anger intensified until his face swelled and changed. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I know a word which, if he said it, would remove what he feels.' So a man went to him and told him what the Prophet ﷺ said, saying, 'Seek refuge in Allah from the accursed shaytan.' The man said, 'Do you see any harm in me? Am I crazy? Go away.'"
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ إِلاَّ بَيْنَهُمَا مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سِتْرٌ فَإِذَا قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ كَلِمَةَ هَجْرٍ فَقَدْ خَرَقَ سِتْرَ اللهِ وَإِذَا قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِلْآخَرِ أَنْتَ كَافِرٌ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا
✧ ʿAbdullāh said, "There are no two Muslims without Allah, Mighty and Majestic, having a veil between them. If one says to his companion a word of severance, he has torn Allah's veil. If one says to the other, 'You are a disbeliever,' then one of them has disbelieved."
قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ فَتَنَزَّهَ عَنْهُ قَوْمٌ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَنَزَّهُونَ عَنِ الشَّيْءِ أَصْنَعُهُ؟ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَأَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ خَشْيَةً
✧ ʿĀʾishah said, "The Prophet ﷺ did something and permitted it, but some people abstained from it. That reached the Prophet ﷺ, so he gave a sermon, praised Allah, then said, 'What is the matter with people who abstain from something I do? By Allah, I know Allah better than them and have more fear of Him than them.'"
عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَلَّ مَا يُوَاجِهُ الرَّجُلَ بِشَيْءٍ يَكْرَهُهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمًا رَجُلٌ وَعَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ لأَصْحَابِهِ لَوْ غَيَّرَ أَوْ نَزَعَ هَذِهِ الصُّفْرَةَ
✧ From Anas, who said: The Prophet ﷺ rarely confronted a man with something he disliked. One day a man entered upon him with traces of yellow (perfume) on him. When he left, he said to his companions, 'If only he would change or remove this yellow.'
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ؓ يَقُولُ بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ وَكِلاَنَا فَارِسٌ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَبْلُغُوا رَوْضَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَبِهَا امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ حَاطِبٍ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأْتُونِي بِهَا فَوَافَيْنَاهَا تَسِيرُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ لَهَا حَيْثُ وَصَفَ لَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا الْكِتَابُ الَّذِي مَعَكِ؟ قَالَتْ مَا مَعِي كِتَابٌ فَبَحَثْنَاهَا وَبَعِيرَهَا فَقَالَ صَاحِبِي مَا أَرَى فَقُلْتُ مَا كَذَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأُجَرِّدَنَّكِ أَوْ لَتُخْرِجِنَّهُ فَأَهْوَتْ بِيَدِهَا إِلَى حُجْزَتِهَا وَعَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ صُوفٌ فَأَخْرَجَتْ فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ خَانَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ وَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ؟ فَقَالَ مَا بِي إِلاَّ أَنْ أَكُونَ مُؤْمِنًا بِاللَّهِ وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي عِنْدَ الْقَوْمِ يَدٌ قَالَ صَدَقَ يَا عُمَرُ أَوَ لَيْسَ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَا عُمَرَ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ
'Ali said. "The Prophet ﷺ sent for me and az-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam while we were both on horseback and said, 'Go to such-and-such a meadow. There is a woman there who has a letter with her from Hatib to the idolaters. Bring her to me.' We found her rising along on one of her camels as the Prophet ﷺ had described her. We said, '[Give us] the letter you have with you.' 'I do not have any letter,' she replied. We searched and her camel. My companion said, 'I do not see it.' I said, 'The Prophet ﷺ does not lie. By the One in whose hand my soul is, I will strip her unless she produces it!' She put her hand in the knot of her shawl - as she was wearing a black shawl - and brought it out. We went back to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. 'Umar exclaimed, 'He (i.e. Hatim) has betrayed Allah, His Messenger, and the believers! Let me strike off his head!' He asked, 'What made you do it?' Hatim said, 'I believe in Allah, but I want to have some authority with the people.' He said, ;He has spoken the truth, 'Umar. Was he not present at Badr? Perhaps Allah has looked on them and said, "Do whatever you like. The Garden is guaranteed for you."' 'Umar wept and said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.''"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٌ قَالَ لأَخِيهِ كَافِرٌ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِهَا أَحَدُهُمَا
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Any man who says to his brother, "Unbeliever," then one of them has returned with it.'
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ لِلْآخَرِ كَافِرٌ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ كَافِرًا فَقَدْ صَدَقَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ فَقَدْ بَاءَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ بِالْكُفْرِ
✧ He reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When one says to another, "Unbeliever," then one of them has disbelieved: if the one to whom he said it is an unbeliever, then he has spoken the truth; but if it is not as he said, then the one who said it has brought the disbelief upon himself.'
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ سُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةِ الأعداء
✧ The Prophet ﷺ used to seek refuge from the evil of decree and from the gloating of enemies.
