the Prophet ﷺ said: ʿA’isha! There are some bad people who are respected for fear of their tongues.  

أبو داود:٤٧٩٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسٌ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ

تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ مِنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ يُكْرَمُونَ اتِّقَاءَ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ
