'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."
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."
