Jabir narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said the following regarding the verse
“Speak fair to the people.” [The Holy Quran: Baqara 2:83] “Tell the people the best things you like to be told about you, since God does not like those who swear, slander or abuse the believers, nor does He like those who use obscene language or are stubborn beggars. God loves those who are patient and virtuous.”
[عن جابر] عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) في قوله الله عز وجل: ﴿وقولوا للناس حسنا﴾ قال
قولوا للناس أحسن ما تحبون أن يقال لكم، فإن الله يبغض اللعان السباب الطعان على المؤمنين، والفاحش المتفحش، والسائل الملحف، ويحب الحيي الحليم العفيف المتعفف.
