Sahih al-Bukhari 4238 (Book 64, Hadith 276) #4050
Insulting Others is Unacceptable

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Aban from Medina to Najd as the commander of a Sariya. When they returned, Aban insulted the narrator and the Prophet (ﷺ) did not give them any share of the booty.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger ﷺ sent Aban from Medina to Najd as the commander of a Sariya. Aban and his companions came to the Prophet ﷺ at Khaibar after the Prophet ﷺ had conquered it, and the reins of their horses were made of the fire of date palm trees. I said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! Do not give them a share of the booty". on, that, Aban said (to me), "Strange! You suggest such a thing though you are what you are, O guinea pig coming down from the top of Ad-Dal (a lotus tree)! "On that the Prophet said, "O Aban, sit down ! " and did not give them any share.
وَيُذْكَرُ عَنِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يُخْبِرُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْعَاصِي قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَانَ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَدِمَ أَبَانُ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِخَيْبَرَ، بَعْدَ مَا افْتَتَحَهَا، وَإِنَّ حُزْمَ خَيْلِهِمْ لَلِيفٌ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لاَ تَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبَانُ وَأَنْتَ بِهَذَا يَا وَبْرُ تَحَدَّرَ مِنْ رَأْسِ ضَأْنٍ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ‏ "‏ يَا أَبَانُ اجْلِسْ ‏"‏ فَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهُمْ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Treat others with respect and kindness no matter what our feelings are towards them at that moment in time .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how insulting others is unacceptable. It was narrated by Abu Huraira that Allah's Messenger sent Aban from Medina to Najd as the commander of a Sariya. When they returned, Aban insulted the narrator and the Prophet did not give them any share of the booty. This shows us that even though we may be angry or upset with someone, it is never acceptable to insult them in return. We should always remember to treat others with respect and kindness no matter what our feelings are towards them at that moment in time. The Prophet's response also teaches us an important lesson - when we are wronged or hurt by someone else, it does not justify us responding in kind but rather we should remain calm and composed so as not to further escalate matters unnecessarily.
