Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِي يَشْتُمُنِي وَهُوَ دُونِي عَلَيَّ بَأْسٌ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ مِنْهُ قَالَ الْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَهَاتَرَانِ وَيَتَكَاذَبَانِ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id told us, Sa'id told us, from Qatadah, from Mutarrif, from Iyad ibn Himar, who said: I said, O Messenger of Allah, a man of my people curses me though he is beneath me — is there any blame on me if I retaliate against him? He said: The two who curse each other are two devils who slander and lie against one another.
