Sunan Abi Dawud 4877 (Book 43, Hadith 105) #25168
The Sin of Insulting Muslims

SUMMARY: It is a major sin to insult or abuse another Muslim.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet said: The gravest sin is going to lengths in talking unjustly against a Muslim's honour, and it is a major sin to abuse twice for abusing once.
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ مِنْ أَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ اسْتِطَالَةَ الْمَرْءِ فِي عِرْضِ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ وَمِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ السَّبَّتَانِ بِالسَّبَّةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by AbuHurayrah, teaches us that it is a major sin to insult or abuse another Muslim. Going to lengths in talking unjustly against a Muslim's honour is the gravest sin of all. This means that we should not say anything bad about our fellow Muslims and should instead be kind and respectful towards them. We should also remember that even if someone has wronged us, it does not give us the right to insult them in return as this would be considered a major sin according to this hadith.
