[Machine] He asked the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of a man who insults me while he is less noble than me in lineage?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "These two devils argue and lie to one another."
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يَشْتُمُنِي وَهُوَ أَنْقَصُ مِنِّي نَسَبًا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَهَاتَرَانِ وَيَتَكَاذَبَانِ
[Machine] I said, "O Prophet of Allah, a man from my people insults me while I am inferior to him. Should I seek revenge against him?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "The mocker and the lied against are the two devils who argue with each other and tell lies."
قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ قَوْمِي يَشْتُمُنِي وَهُوَ دُونِي أَفَأَنْتَقِمُ مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَهَاتَرَانِ وَيَتَكَاذَبَانِ»
[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man from my people insults me and he is inferior to me. Is it better for me to respond or to remain patient?" He replied, "The parable of the two indulging in mutual slander is like that of two devils playing together, each saying lies and exaggerations."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يَشْتُمُنِي مِنْ قَوْمِي وَهُوَ دُونِي أَعَلَيَّ مِنْ بَأْسٍ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ «الْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَهَاتَرَانِ وَيَتَكَاذَبَانِ»
