Respect other muslims , Avoid verbal or physical abuse towards others , Maintain peace with fellow muslims

This hadith speaks about the sin of defaming a Muslim. It was narrated from Shu'bah who heard it from Abu Ishaq who heard it from Abu Al-Ahwas that 'Abdullah said that defaming a Muslim is evildoing and fighting him is Kufr or disbelief. Aban asked if he only heard it from Abu Al-Ahwas to which he replied that he also heard it from Al-Aswad and Hubairah. This hadith teaches us the importance of respecting other Muslims as well as not engaging in physical fights with them as this would be considered disbelief according to Islam. We should always strive to maintain peace with our fellow Muslims by avoiding any kind of verbal or physical abuse towards them.
