What is the reference for this narration and can it be quoted?
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“The worst of people is the one whom people desert or leave because of his evil/crude harsh language”
Answer
This narration is recorded in Sahih Bukhari on the authority of Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) as part of a longer narration. It is therefore authentic. You may quote the Hadith.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 6032, 6054 and 6131)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
