Question:
Is this Hadith authentic?
“The believer does not insult, nor curse, nor commit fahishah nor is he foul.”
Answer:
Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith.
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “A believer does not find fault/criticise [people], nor does he curse excessively, nor is he obscene and lewd.”
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1977)
Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith sound (hasanun gharib) and Imam Ibn Hibban (rahimahullah) has also authenticated the Hadith.
(Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 192)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
