Arabic text

١٩٨٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ ‌زُبَيْدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «سِبَابُ» الْمُسْلِمِ فُسُوقٌ، وَقِتَالُهُ كُفْرٌ. قَالَ زُبَيْدٌ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي وَائِلٍ: أَأَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Islam teaches good conduct and morals. Verbally abusing someone is the very negation of it, and amounts to straying away from the commands of Allāh and His Prophet ﷺ. Islam exhorts the believers to maintain mutual love and feeling of brotherhood among themselves.
