It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that indeed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said . . . . . . and he narrated this hadith. And with another chain of narration, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It does not befit a truthful person to be greatly given to cursing." Imam Muslim has also narrated it with his chain, and in it (instead of "al-siddiq") there is "li-siddiq" with a "lam."
