Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Sha’bi says that I have not seen any man take revenge on Hazrat Shurayh except for one Bedouin. Shurayh said to him, “Your tongue is longer than your hand.” The Bedouin replied, “Are you a Samaritan that you cannot be touched by hand?” Hazrat Shurayh said, “Be mindful of your matter.” He replied, “It is my matter that has brought me to you.” When Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah be pleased with him) was about to stand up, he said, “I did not mean you by my words.” The Bedouin said, “Nor have I committed any sin against you.”
