ALLAH’S COMMAND – DO NOT RIDICULE AND DEFAME OTHERS

[ALLAH'S Quran - 49:11] "O you who believe, no men should ever scoff
at other men. May be, the latter are better than the former. Nor
should women (ever scoff) at other women. May be, the latter women are
better than the former ones. And do not find fault with one another,
nor call one another with bad nicknames. Bad is the name of sinfulness
after embracing Faith. If anyone does not repent, then such people are
the wrongdoers."


The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) has said:

[Bukhari, Book #73, Hadith #58] "Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet
was not one who would abuse (others) or say obscene words, or curse
(others), and if he wanted to admonish anyone of us, he used to say:
"What is wrong with him, his forehead be dusted!"

[Bukhari, Book #73, Hadith #72] "Narrated Anas: Allah's Apostle was
neither a Fahish (one who had a bad tongue) nor a Sabbaba (one who
abuses others) and he used to say while admonishing somebody, "What is
wrong with him? May dust be on his forehead!"

[Bukhari, Book #46, Hadith #721 ] "Narrated Al-Ma'rur bin Suwaid: I
saw Abu Dhar Al-Ghifari wearing a cloak, and his slave, too, was
wearing a cloak. We asked him about that (i.e. how both were wearing
similar cloaks). He replied, "Once I abused a man and he complained of
me to the Prophet . The Prophet asked me, 'Did you abuse him by
slighting his mother?' He added, 'Your slaves are your brethren upon
whom Allah has given you authority. So, if one has one's brethren
under one's control, one should feed them with the like of what one
eats and clothe them with the like of what one wears. You should not
overburden them with what they cannot bear, and if you do so, help
them (in their hard job)."

[Sunan Abudawud, Book #41, Hadith #4859] "Narrated Abu Hurayrah: The
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The gravest sin is going to lengths
in talking unjustly against a Muslim's honour, and it is a major sin
to abuse twice for abusing once.

[Muslim, Book #032, Hadith #6263] "Abu Huraira reported Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: When two persons indulge
in hurling (abuses) upon one another, it would be the first one who
would be the sinner so long as the oppressed does not transgress the
limits."
