حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْأَقْمَرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " حَسْبُكَ مِنْ صَفِيَّةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَ : غَيْرُ مُسَدَّدٍ تَعْنِي قَصِيرَةً ، فَقَالَ لَقَدْ قُلْتِ كَلِمَةً لَوْ مُزِجَتْ بِمَاءِ الْبَحْرِ لَمَزَجَتْهُ , قَالَتْ : وَحَكَيْتُ لَهُ إِنْسَانًا ، فَقَالَ : مَا أُحِبُّ أَنِّي حَكَيْتُ إِنْسَانًا وَأَنَّ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا " .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: I said to the Prophet ﷺ: It is enough for you in Safiyyah that she is such and such (the other version than Musaddad's has: ) meaning that she was short-statured. He replied; You have said a word which would change the sea if it were mixed in it. She said: I imitated a man before him (out of disgrace). He said: I do not like that I imitate anyone even if I should get such and such.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
It is forbidden to find fault with someone’s natural creation, to mock or ridicule them.
This is, in effect, finding fault with Allah ‘azza wa jall and expressing one’s own superiority.
When it is forbidden to find fault with natural matters, then commenting on deeds is also not permissible, except in the case where it is an act of sin so that it may serve as a lesson.
If the person has repented, then mentioning it is even more impermissible.
However, mentioning good deeds is permissible.
