- .... Masruq narrated from Aisha, who said: Some people from the Jews came to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and said, "Death be upon you, O Abu al-Qasim." He replied, "And upon you." Aisha said, "I said, 'Rather, upon you, death and destruction!'"
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, 'O Aisha, do not be vulgar.' She replied, "Did you not hear what they said?" He said, "Have you not responded to them with what they said? I said, 'And upon you.'" In another narration, it is said that Aisha became aware of them and cursed them.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, 'Be gentle, O Aisha, for Allah does not love vulgarity or the use of vulgarity,' and he added, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, revealed: {And when they come to you, they greet you with that which Allah does not greet you} (Al-Mujudila 58:8) to the end of the verse. "Destruction" (dhamm) with a softened meem means blame.
