Salim ibn 'Abdullah said, "I never heard 'Abdullah ever curse anything." Salim mentioned that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said, "It is not fitting for a believer to be a curser."  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ لاَعِنًا أَحَدًا قَطُّ لَيْسَ إِنْسَانًا وَكَانَ سَالِمٌ يَقُولُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَعَّانًا  

Jabir ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah does not love the loud and coarse nor the one who shouts in the markets."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْفَاحِشَ الْمُتَفَحِّشَ وَلاَ الصَّيَّاحَ فِي الاسْوَاقِ  

'A'isha reported that some Jews came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "Poison ('sam' instead of 'salam') be upon you." 'A'isha said, "And upon you and may the curse of Allah and the anger of Allah be upon you!" The Prophet said, "Easy, 'A'isha, you must be gentle. Beware of harshness and coarseness." She asked, "Didn't you hear what they said?" He said, "Didn't you hear what I said? I repeated it to them and what I said about them will be accepted and what they said about me will not be accepted."  

أَنَّ يَهُودًا أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ وَلَعَنَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَغَضِبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَ مَهْلاً يَا عَائِشَةُ عَلَيْكِ بِالرِّفْقِ وَإِيَّاكِ وَالْعُنْفَ وَالْفُحْشَ قَالَتْ أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعِي مَا قُلْتُ؟ رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيُسْتَجَابُ لِي فِيهِمْ وَلاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِيَّ  

'Abdullah reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A believer is not a defamer nor a curser nor coarse nor obscene."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلاَ اللِّعَانِ وَلاَ الْفَاحِشِ وَلاَ الْبَذِي  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A person who is two-faced cannot be trusted."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِذِي الْوَجْهَيْنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَمِينًا  

'Abdullah said, "The most blameworthy thing in a believer's character is coarseness."  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ أَلأَمُ أَخْلاَقِ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْفُحْشُ  

'Ubayd al-Kindi al-Kufi reported that he heard 'Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "The cursers are cursed."  

لُعِنَ اللَّعَّانُونَ  

Abu'd-Darda' reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Those who curse will be neither witnesses nor intercessors on the Day of Rising."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّعَّانِينَ لاَ يَكُونُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُهَدَاءَ وَلا شُفَعَاءَ  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The true person must not be a curser."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلصِّدِّيقِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَعَّانًا  

Hudhayfa said, "People do not curse one another without that curse coming true."  

تَلاَعَنَ قَوْمٌ قَطُّ إِلاَّ حُقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ اللَّعْنَةُ  

'A'isha reported that Abu Bakr cursed one of his slaves and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Abu Bakr! The cursers and the true! No, by the Lord of the Ka'ba," and he repeated that two or three times. That very same day Abu Bakr freed one of his slaves. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came and said, "Do not do that again (i.e. curse someone)."  

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ اللَّعَّانِينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ؟ كَلاَّ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا فَأَعْتَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضَ رَقِيقِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لا أَعُودُ  

Samura reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not curse one another with the curse of Allah, not the anger of Allah nor with the Fire."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ تَتَلاَعَنُوا بِلَعْنَةِ اللهِ وَلاَ بِغَضَبِ اللهِ وَلاَ بِالنَّارِ  

Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked, "Messenger of Allah, invoke a curse for us against the idolaters.' He replied, 'I was not sent as a curser. I was sent as a mercy.'"  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أُبْعَثْ لَعَّانًا وَلَكِنْ بُعِثْتُ رَحْمَةً  

Himam said, "We were with Hudhayfa when he was told, 'A man has a hadith going back to 'Uthman.' Hudhayfa said, 'I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "A mischief-maker will not enter the Garden."'"  

عَنْ هَمَّامٍ كُنَّا مَعَ حُذَيْفَةَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ رَجُلا يَرْفَعُ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَتَّاتٌ  

Asma' bint Yazid reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Shall I tell you who is the best of you?" "Yes,," they replied. He said, "Those who remind you of Allah when you see them." He went on to say, "Shall I tell you who is the worst of you?" "Yes," they replied. He said, "Those who go about slandering, causing mischief between friends in order to separate them, and desiring to lead the innocent into wrong action."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخِيَارِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا رُؤُوا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ أَفَلاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشِرَارِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ الْمَشَّاؤُونَ بِالنَّمِيمَةِ الْمُفْسِدُونَ بَيْنَ الأَحِبَّةِ الْبَاغُونَ الْبُرَآءَ الْعَنَتَ  

'Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "The person who says something indecent and the person who makes it known are equal as far as the wrong action is concerned."  

عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ الْقَائِلُ الْفَاحِشَةَ وَالَّذِي يُشِيعُ بِهَا فِي الإِثْمِ سَوَاءٌ  

Shubayl ibn 'Awf said, "It is said, 'Whoever hears something indecent and then spreads it is like the one who originated it.'"  

سَمِعَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَأَفْشَاهَا فَهُوَ فِيهَا كَالَّذِي أَبْدَاهَا  

'Ata thought that an exemplary punishment should be carried out on anyone who makes adultery known. He said, "He has made indecency known."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرَى النَّكَالَ عَلَى مَنْ أَشَاعَ الزِّنَا يَقُولُ أَشَاعَ الْفَاحِشَةَ  

Hukaym ibn Sa'd heard 'Ali say, "Do not be hasty, spreading and divulging secrets. Ahead of you lies a severe, distressing affliction and events which would take a long time explain - namely oppressive conflicts."  

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ لاَ تَكُونُوا عُجُلاً مَذَايِيعَ بُذُرًا فَإِنْ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ بَلاَءً مُبَرِّحًا مُمْلِحًا وَأُمُورًا مُتَمَاحِلَةً رُدُحًا  

Ibn 'Abbas said, "When you want to mention your companion's faults, remember your own faults."  

أَنْ تَذْكُرَ عُيُوبَ صَاحِبِكَ فَاذْكُرْ عُيُوبَ نَفْسِكَ  

Ibn 'Abbas spoke about the words of Allah Almighty, "Do not find fault with one another" (49:11) and he said that these words mean, "Do not attack one another."  

يَطْعَنُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ  

Ad-Dahhak said, "It was about us (the Banu Salima) that these words were revealed, 'Do not find fault with one another' (49:11)" He went on to say, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to us and there was not a man among us who did not have two names. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, began to say, 'O so-and-so!' and they said, 'Messenger of Allah! That will make him angry!'"  

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَبِيرَةَ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ قَالَ فِينَا نَزَلَتْ فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ {وَلاَ تَنَابَزُوا بِالأَلْقَابِ} قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا رَجُلٌ إِلاَّ لَهُ اسْمَانِ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَا فُلاَنُ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ يَغْضَبُ مِنْهُ  

'Ikrima was heard to say, "I do not know which o f them, either Ibn 'Abbas or Ibn 'Umar, was giving his companions food, and a slavegirl was working in their presence. One of them said to her, 'Harlot!' He said, 'Easy! If she does not exact the hadd punishment (i.e. for slander) from you in this world, she will take it from you in the Next World.' The man said, 'And what do you think if it (what I said) is the truth?' He replied, 'Allah does not love anyone who greatly exceeds the sounds in speaking of indecencies."  

قَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَهَا يَا زَانِيَةُ فَقَالَ مَهْ إِنْ لَمْ تَحُدَّكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا تَحُدُّكَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ كَذَاكَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْفَاحِشَ الْمُتَفَحِّشَ  

'Abdullah reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said. "The believer is neither a defamer nor a curser nor outrageous nor obscene."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلاَ اللِّعَانِ وَلاَ الْفَاحِشِ وَلاَ الْبَذِي
