بَابٌ فِي الْمُسْتَبَّيْنِ
Two who revile each other
Majma al-Zawaid 13022 — Two who revile each other
عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ :
" إِثْمُ الْمُسْتَبَّيْنِ مَا قَالَا عَلَى الْبَادِئِ مِنْهُمَا ، مَا لَمْ يَعْتَدِ الْمَظْلُومُ ، وَالْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَكَاذَبَانِ وَيَتَهَاتَرَانِ " .
" إِثْمُ الْمُسْتَبَّيْنِ مَا قَالَا عَلَى الْبَادِئِ مِنْهُمَا ، مَا لَمْ يَعْتَدِ الْمَظْلُومُ ، وَالْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَكَاذَبَانِ وَيَتَهَاتَرَانِ " .
Sayyiduna Iyad bin Himar (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When two people revile each other, the sin falls on the one who started it, as long as the wronged one does not transgress. Two people who revile each other are two devils, lying against each other and making false claims against each other."
