Translation: Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al-Ass; ' I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: " Beware of insolence for, Allah loves neither insolence nor assuming it. "
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade abusing the polytheists that were killed on the day of Badr battle as saying: “ Do not abuse these people for, naught reaches them additionally you hurt the living therewith. In fact, insolence is ignobility. "
Translation: Narrated Abu-Omamah; ' The Prophet said: " Insolence and Al Bayan (speaking gutturally) are some of hypocrisy branches... "
It seems as if the word Al Bayano refers to revealing what should not be revealed or exaggerating in explaining some affairs in an unnatural manner. It also may comprise explaining the religious affairs or Allah's Attributes against the texts. Natural talk is very easy for the common people because their hearts accept it more easily while explaining it in details may cast doubts in the people's hearts. It seems also that combining it with insolence in the Hadith refers to forbiddance of exposing what makes one shy because it is better to overlook it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
Translation: Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al-Ass; ' I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "... For, Allah does not love neither insolence nor assuming it. "
Translation: Narrated Jaber ibn Samorah; ' I was in a sitting attended by the Prophet and Abu-Samorah was sitting before me. The Messenger of Allah said: " Indeed, insolence and assuming it are not of Islam and the best of people are those having the noblest characters. "
Al Ahnaf ibn Qays said; ' Would I tell you About the worst of maladies? It is the insolent tongue and the evil character. "
Thus, insolence is dispraised. As to its criterion and nature, it is expressing the insolent affairs explicitly. Examples of this are pornography and what is related to sexual relations. The corrupt people have explicit expressions in this regard, while the righteous people evade it. If they were compelled to talk they use metaphor and symbol.
Ibn Abbas said; ' Indeed, Allah is Shy and Generous. He uses metaphor. He uses touching for sexual intercourse and this is not insolence. *
There are many insolent words used by some people. They differ from one another and some of them are viler than the other. This affair is not confined to the sexual relations. It is recommended to use metaphor in other natural activities such as answering the call of nature. It is recommended that one does not mention women frankly. It is better to say ' those in the chamber or those behind the curtain '. Using metaphor in these affairs is better while mentioning them frankly leads to insolence. Even the diseases that afflict what one gets shy of it such as piles, it is recommended to use metaphor.
Mentioning this openly is comprised in insolence, leads to it, and some of the evils of the tongue.
Al-Ala'a ibn Haroon said; ' Omar ibn Abdul-Aziz would pun. Once, he had a tumor under in armpit and we visited him and asked; ' Where did it come out? ' He said; ' From the palm of the hand. "
The incentive of insolence is either aiming at harming people or due to mixing with the insolent persons and those addicted to abusing people.
A nomad said to the Messenger of Allah; ' Advise me, " He said:
Translation: Narrated Jaber ibn Saleem; " The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “... And if a man defamed you with what he knows About you, do not defame him of what you know About him. For, the sin is against him. " The narrator said; ' I have never abused any person after that. "
Translation: Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'oud; ' The Prophet ﷺ said: “ Abusing a Muslim is an evil doing and fighting him is disbelief. "
layidh ibn Hemar said; ' O Messenger of Allah! A man of my people lower than I am, may abuse me. Is there any harm if I returned the abuse? ' He said: " The two persons abusing each other are two devils that quarrel and dispute. "
Translation: Narrated Abu-Huraira; ' The Messenger of Allah said: “ The one initiating abuse incurs the sin of abusing as long as he did not return it. " And
Translation: Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr; " The Prophet said: " It is one of the major sins that a man abuses his parents. " They said; ' How does one abuse his parents? ' He said: " A man may abuse another's father so, he (the one whose father was abused) abuses the father of the former, and abuses another's mother so, he abuses his mother. "
Now, let us read what Imam Al-Nawawi compiled in the same concern.]
Translation: 986. Narrated Abu Al-Darda'a; Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: " Allah hates the profligate and the obscene person. " (At-Termizi graded it Saheeh (sound).
Translation: 987. Narrated Ibn Mas'oud; The Prophet said: " A believer is not given to accusing others or cursing them, nor is he immoral or shameless. " (At-Termizi graded it Hasan; Al Hakim graded it Saheeh (sound), but Ad-Daraqotni preponderated it as Mawqoof (untraceable).
Translation: .988 Narrated Anas; The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: " Shamelessness defiles whichever it mixes with and shyness embellishes whichever it mixes with. " (At-Termizi).
