It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Which Muslim is better?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "The Muslim from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe (i.e., he neither speaks ill of any Muslim nor harms anyone with his hand)."
