Sunan Abi Dawud, 4894

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying:when two men abuse one another, what they say is laid to the charge of the one who began it, so long as the one who is wronged does not go over the score

Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه a rapporté cela du Messager d’Allah ﷺ : « Quand deux hommes s’insultent, ce qu’ils disent est compté contre celui qui a commencé, tant que celui qui est insulté ne dépasse pas les limites. »
