Ibrahim ibn Musa narrated to me: Yahya ibn Zakariyya ibn Abi Za’ida informed me, from Zakariyya, from Abu Ishaq, from Muhammad ibn Sa‘d ibn Malik, from his father, from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), who said: Reviling a Muslim is wicked conduct.

The Arabic uses فسوق, conduct that is sinful or defiantly disobedient; ‘wicked conduct’ conveys this moral censure.
