How the Muslim Deals With People

From Aa'ishah (radiyAllâhu 'anhaa) who said that a man sought permission to enter upon the Prophet (salAllâhu '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 Allâh, 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 Allâh on the Day of Resurrection are those whom the people desert, or abandon, in order to save themselves from their evil speech." (54)
