Hadith 18337

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِثْمُ الْمُسْتَبَّيْنِ مَا قَالاَ عَلَى الْبَادِئِ مَا لَمْ يَعْتَدْ الْمَظْلُومُ ، وَالْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَكَاذَبَانِ وَيَتَهَاتَرَانِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Iyad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When two people abuse each other, the sin is upon the one who started it, unless the oppressed also exceeds the limit. And those two persons who abuse each other are both devils who utter nonsense and lies.
