When he left, I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, when he asked permission you said, “What a bad brother of the tribe,” but when he came in you treated him in a friendly manner.’ The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘O ‘Āishah, Allāh does not love the one who speaks harshly.’” (Hasan) [Abū Dāwūd was asked about the meaning of the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: ‘What a bad brother of the tribe’ so he said: “That was specific for the Prophet ﷺ.”[1]
