A man asked permission to enter upon Allah’s Apostle. The Prophet said, “Admit him. What an evil
brother of his people or a son of his people.” But when the man entered, the Prophet spoke to him in
a very polite manner. (And when that person left) I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You had said what you
had said, yet you spoke to him in a very polite manner?” The Prophet said, “O ‘Aisha! The worst
people are those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their dirty lan –
guage or from their transgression.”
