Hadith record

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’a from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “One day, when the Holy Prophet was with ‘A’ishah, a man asked permission to meet him. The Messenger of Allah said, ‘What an evil fellow from the tribe!’ ‘A’ishah then went to her chamber and the Holy Prophet granted permission to the man for a meeting. When he came in, the Holy Prophet met him cheerfully, politely speaking to him until the meeting was over and the man left. ‘A’ishah then asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, a while ago you said about the man what you said and then you met him in such a cheerful and polite manner! ’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Of the most evil among the servants (of Allah) is one whose meeting is disliked because of his using obscene language.’”
