Best of you

5. "The best of people during fitnah is a man who takes up the reins of his horse pursuing the enemies of Allah, causing them fear yet they make him fearful too, or a man who secludes himself in the desert fulfilling the rights of Allah upon him." [Hâkim, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

Saying, "Yes, him - the Cripple."

 


Question:

When I am having a discussion about a person who is absent, is it permissible to say about him, "So and so, the cripple or one-eyed?"
Answer:

If by calling him this you are simply identifying who he is, this is permissible; in certain narrations, we come across "so and so Al-'Amash (blear-eyed)" and "so and so Al-'Araj (cripple)." But if it is done out of scorn or backbiting then it is not allowed.
