The Prophet was not harsh or foul-mouthed.

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Whoever calls a Muslim a sinner or a disbeliever, and in reality he is not a sinner or a disbeliever, then the one who said it will himself become a sinner and a disbeliever."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Thabit bin Dhahak (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever swears by any religion other than Islam (i.e., deliberately swears to become a disbeliever), then he is as he has sworn (i.e., of that religion). And it is not obligatory upon the son of Adam to fulfill a vow which is beyond his capacity. And whoever commits suicide with anything in this world, he will be punished with that very thing on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever curses a believer, (its sin) is equal to killing him. And whoever calls a believer a disbeliever, this too is equal to killing him."

What kind of praise is blameworthy?
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and a man praised him greatly. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "May Allah have mercy on you, you have cut his neck (by praising him like this)." And he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) repeated this sentence several times. (Then he said): "If any of you wants to praise someone unnecessarily, he should say: 'I think him to be such and such,' if he really believes him to be so, and Allah knows best about him (whether he is good or bad), and he should not say that he is good in the sight of Allah."

And it is not permissible for any Muslim to remain apart from his (Muslim) brother for more than three days due to any dispute."
