'Iyad ibn Himar reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah has revealed to me that you
should be humble so that none of you will oppress anyone else and none
of you will disdain another.' I said, 'Messenger of Allah, what do you
think I should do when a man reviles me in a low assembly and then I answer
him back? Do I incur any wrong action in doing that?' He replied, 'Two
men who revile one another are two shaytans who accuse one another and
deny one another.'"
'Iyad said, "I was at war with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and I gave him a she-camel before I became Muslim. He said, "I dislike the froth of the idolaters."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاحِشًا، وَلاَ لَعَّانًا، وَلاَ سَبَّابًا، كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْمَعْتَبَةِ: مَا لَهُ تَرِبَ جَبِينُهُ.
Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, was neither coarse nor a curser nor a reviler, He used to say
when he wanted to censure someone, 'What is wrong with him? May his brow
be dusty!'"
'Iyad ibn Himar said, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, there is someone
who reviles me.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, 'Those who revile one another are two shaytans who accuse one another
and deny one another.'"
