Is there a Prophetic Hadith that mentions the punishment for someone whom people avoid out of fear of his indecency and foul language?
The Hadith states that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, described a man as "the worst brother of his tribe" before the man entered upon him. When the man entered, the Prophet spoke to him gently. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, explained this to Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, saying that the worst person in rank before Allah on the Day of Resurrection is he whom people abandon to avoid his obscenity and the evil of his tongue. Scholars have clarified that this man was Uyaynah ibn Hisn, and that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, spoke gently to him to win his heart over to Islam, not out of praise for him. The Hadith indicates the permissibility of dealing tactfully with someone whose obscenity is feared, and that Allah detests the obscene and foul-mouthed person.
