Allāh the Exalted forbids scoffing at people, which implies humiliating and belittling them.
In the Sahih, it is recorded that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Arrogance is refusing the truth and belittling people.”
- (Jami at-Tirmidhi 1999 | Sahih)
And in another Version: “And despising people.”
- (Sunan Abi Dawud 4092 | Sahih)
It is forbidden to scoff at and belittle people, for the injured party could be more honored and dearer to Allāh the Exalted than those who ridicule and belittle them.
