Forty Hadeeth on the Islamic Personality



HADEETH 33: How the Muslim Deals With People

From As'ishah (radiyallaahu 'anhaa) who said that a man sought permission to enter upon the Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wa'sallam), so he said: Give permission to him and what a bad son of his people (or: what a bad man of his people). Then when he entered he spoke politely to him. Aa'ishah said: So I said: O Messenger of Allaah, you said about him what you said and then you spoke politely to him? He said: O Aa'ishah the worst people in station before Allaah on the Day of Resurrection are those whom the people desert, or abandon, in order to save themselves from their evil speech.
