believer to be a curser."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَزَارِيُّ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُبَشِّرٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْفَاحِشَ الْمُتَفَحِّشَ وَلاَ الصَّيَّاحَ فِي الاسْوَاقِ
Hadith 311
Sahih — Al-Albani
The believer is not a defamer
'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 (ﷺ) 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."
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."
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ اللَّعَّانِينَ لاَ يَكُونُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُهَدَاءَ وَلا شُفَعَاءَ

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

'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)."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَعَنَ بَعْضَ رَقِيقِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ اللَّعَّانِينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ كَلاَّ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا فَأَعْتَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضَ رَقِيقِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لا أَعُودُ

the anger of Allah nor with the Fire."

Cursing an unbeliever
Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him

us against the idolaters.' He replied, 'I was not sent as a curser. I was
sent as a mercy.'"
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

the Garden."'"

Hasan — Al-Albani
Slander
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."
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."
