Riyad as-Salihin — Hadith #45979

On the authority of Abu Jarir Jaber bin Salim, may God be pleased with him, he said: I saw a man whose opinion people changed; He does not say anything unless they come from him; I said: Who is this? They said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. I said: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of God - twice. He said: “Do not say Peace be upon you, peace be upon you. The greeting of the dead - I said: Peace be upon you.” He said: I said: Are you the Messenger of God? He said: “I am the Messenger of God if harm befalls you.” So you called upon Him to reveal it to you, and if one year befalls you, then you call upon Him and He produces it for you, and if you are in a barren or desert land and your camel loses its power, then you call upon Him to return it to you.” He said: I said: Commit to me. He said: “Do not insult anyone.” He said: After him, you have never harmed a free man, a slave, a camel, or a sheep. “And do not despise anything of kindness, and Talk to your brother while you open your face to him. This is a matter of common sense. Raise your garment to half the shin If you refuse, then up to the ankles, and beware of letting the garment slip, for it is a matter of imagination, and God does not like imagination, and if someone curses you and reproaches you for what he knows about you, do not criticize him for what you know about him, for that will only harm him.” ((Narrated by Abu Dawud and Al-Tirmidhi))
