Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), two men abused each other. One of them used foul language while the other remained silent, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was also present. Then the second person also responded, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up and left. It was said to him: "You have stood up?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When the angels departed, I also left with them. As long as he remained silent, the angels were responding to the one who was abusing, but when he replied, the angels departed."

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man came to her and said: A man has spoken ill of you in the presence of Abdul Malik. She replied: If someone says something about us which is not in us, then sometimes it also happens that people praise us undeservedly.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When a man says to his companion, "You are my enemy," then one of them goes out of Islam, or he becomes disassociated from his companion. Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) says that later Abu Juhaifah informed me that Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, if he repents (then it is another matter).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) in a marfu‘ form that (the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:) "The son of Adam has three hundred and sixty joints or bones. It is obligatory to give charity for each joint every day. Every good word is charity. A person helping his brother is charity. Giving water to drink is also charity, and removing something harmful from the road is also charity."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whatever two people who abuse each other say, its sin is upon the one who started it, as long as the oppressed does not exceed the limits."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The sin of the abuse between two people who revile each other is upon the one who started it, until the oppressed exceeds the limit."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what tale-bearing and the thing that cuts (relationships) is?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is conveying people's words to one another in order to cause discord."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has revealed to me that you should adopt humility and modesty among yourselves, and none of you should show arrogance over another."

Sayyiduna Iyad bin Himar (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What if a man abuses me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two people who abuse each other are both devils, behaving foolishly and lying."

Sayyiduna Iyad bin Himar (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Allah Almighty has revealed to me that you should adopt humility and modesty, and that no one should wrong another, nor should anyone boast over another.”I asked: O Messenger of Allah! If someone of lower status abuses me and I respond to him, will I be sinful? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“Both who abuse each other are devils who utter obscenities and lie.”
