(Book 47, Hadith 4) #36688
Treating Evil People with Kindness

SUMMARY: People should be cautious of those who are known to be evil, but it is important to treat them with kindness and respect.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A man asked permission to come in to see the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. I was with him in the house and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'He is an evil member of his tribe'. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave him permission". A'isha continued, "It was not long before I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, laughing with him. When the man left, I said, 'Messenger of Allah, you said what you said about him, and then before long you were laughing with him'. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, replied, 'Among the most evil of people is the one whom people are cautious with because of his evil'. "
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ بِئْسَ ابْنُ الْعَشِيرَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَلَمْ أَنْشَبْ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ ضَحِكَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْتَ فِيهِ مَا قُلْتَ ثُمَّ لَمْ تَنْشَبْ أَنْ ضَحِكْتَ مَعَهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ إِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ مَنِ اتَّقَاهُ النَّاسُ لِشَرِّهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Show respect & kindness towards those who have done wrong in the past

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us an important lesson about how we should treat people who are known for their bad behavior. Even though we should be cautious around them, we must still show them kindness and respect. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was a perfect example of this as he allowed a man into his house even though he knew the man was not trustworthy. He then showed him kindness by laughing with him despite his past misdeeds. This teaches us that no matter what someone has done in the past, they deserve our respect and kindness as human beings. We must remember that everyone is capable of change if given the right opportunity and environment to do so.
