Sunan Abu Dawud 4788 — Regarding good interactions with people
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ يَعْنِي الْحِمَّانِيَّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا بَلَغَهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ الشَّيْءُ ، لَمْ يَقُلْ : مَا بَالُ فُلَانٍ يَقُولُ ، وَلَكِنْ يَقُولُ : مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَقُولُونَ كَذَا وَكَذَا " .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: When the Prophet ﷺ was informed of anything of a certain man, he would not say: What is the matter with so and so that he says? But he would say: What is the matter with the people that they say such and such?
