English translation

1691. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When anyone of you is fasting, let him not utter evil or ignorant speech. If anyone speaks to him in an ignorant manner, let him say: 'I am fasting.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

1691 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ صَوْمِ أَحَدِكُمْ، فَلَا يَرْفُثْ، وَلَا يَجْهَلْ، وَإِنْ جَهِلَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ، فَلْيَقُلْ: إِنِّي امْرُؤٌ صَائِمٌ "

Commentary

Ignorance (misbehavior) means an action of fighting and quarreling; it means a fasting person should also not be the first to start hostility, and if any other person does so, and the fasting person gets angry, the fasting person should not be hostile in response, rather he should protect the fast, demonstrating forbearance and tolerance to avoid the hostility.
