حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُبَشِّرٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْفَاحِشَ الْمُتَفَحِّشَ، وَلاَ الصَّيَّاحَ فِي الاسْوَاقِ.

Muhammad ibn Salam narrated to us: al-Fazari narrated to us, from al-Fadl ibn Mubashshir al-Ansari, from Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Allah does not love the foul-mouthed person who makes a practice of foul speech, nor the one who shouts in the marketplaces.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic pairs الفاحش, foul or obscene in speech, with المتفحش, one who deliberately adopts or displays such speech. The second clause describes shouting in marketplaces.
الْفَاحِشَ الْمُتَفَحِّشَ
The Arabic pair concerns foul or obscene speech and making it habitual, whereas the witness renders the terms as loudness and coarseness.
Should the two terms be rendered as ‘foul-mouthed’ and ‘one who makes a practice of foul speech’?
