Sahih al-Bukhari 6131 (Book 78, Hadith 158) #5887
Treating People with Respect

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that people should not be judged by their reputation, and instead should be treated with kindness and respect.

Narrated Aisha: A man asked permission to see the Prophet. He said, "Let Him come in; What an evil man of the tribe he is! (Or, What an evil brother of the tribe he is). But when he entered, the Prophet ﷺ spoke to him gently in a polite manner. I said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! You have said what you have said, then you spoke to him in a very gentle and polite manner? The Prophet ﷺ said, "The worse people, in the sight of Allah are those whom the people leave (undisturbed) to save themselves from their dirty language".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، حَدَّثَهُ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ‏.‏ أَنَّهُ، اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ائْذَنُوا لَهُ فَبِئْسَ ابْنُ الْعَشِيرَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ أَوْ ‏"‏ بِئْسَ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أَلاَنَ لَهُ الْكَلاَمَ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْتَ مَا قُلْتَ، ثُمَّ أَلَنْتَ لَهُ فِي الْقَوْلِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَىْ عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ شَرَّ النَّاسِ مَنْزِلَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ ـ أَوْ وَدَعَهُ ـ النَّاسُ اتِّقَاءَ فُحْشِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about treating people with respect, regardless of their reputation. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that the worst people in the sight of Allah are those whom the people leave undisturbed to save themselves from their dirty language. He also showed us how to treat others by example when a man asked permission to see him, even though he had said something negative about him beforehand. Instead of responding in kind, he spoke to the man gently and politely. This teaches us that we should not judge someone based on what other people say or think about them; rather we should treat everyone with kindness and respect no matter what they have done or said before. We can learn from this hadith that it is important to always show adab towards others, as this will help create a better society for all of us.
