Question

I am looking for the correct translation and the reference for the following Hadith. Abud Darda (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that  Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:

‘…Allah abhors those who indulge in shameless talk and use indecent language’.

Answer

Sayyiduna Abud Darda (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

‘There is no action weightier on the scales of a believer on the day of judgement than good character and verily Allah detests one who is obscene and uses indecent language’

(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2002, declared authentic by Imam Tirmidhi -rahimahullah-)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best
