Hadith: A believer is not a slanderer, nor a curser, nor a person who speaks obscenely, nor a person who uses foul language
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
«لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلاَ اللَّعَّانِ وَلاَ الفَاحِشِ وَلاَ البَذِيءِ».
[صحيح] - [رواه الترمذي] - [سنن الترمذي: 1977]

‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"A believer is not a slanderer, nor a curser, nor a person who speaks obscenely, nor a person who uses foul language."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by At-Termedhy] - [Sunan At-Termedhy - 1977]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that it is not the nature of a believer who has complete Imān to criticize people’s lineage, or to revile and curse others, or to be obscene in action or speech without shame.
Benefits from the Hadith
- The negation of Imān in the Shar‘i texts only exists due to the commission of something prohibited or the abandonment of something obligatory.
- The Hadīth urges us to preserve our body parts and safeguard them from evil things, especially the tongue.
- As-Sindi said: The use of slanderer and curser suggests that occasionally engaging in slander or curses, and only towards those who truly deserve it, does not detract from embodying the qualities of a true believer.
