Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْعَلَاءَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُسْتَبَّانِ مَا قَالَا فَعَلَى الْبَادِئِ مَا لَمْ يَعْتَدِ الْمَظْلُومُ.

Ibn Abi Adi told us, from Shu'bah, from al-Ala', and Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'bah told us, he said: I heard al-Ala' narrating from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When two people revile each other, the sin is upon whichever of them started it, so long as the wronged one does not transgress the limit."
