269. Commandment to let not one people deride another people
[49:12] O ye who believe! let not one people deride another people, who may be better than they, nor let women deride other women, who may be better than they. And defame not your own people, nor call one another by nicknames. Bad indeed is evil reputation after the profession of belief; and those who repent not are the wrongdoers.
[11:79] And his people came running towards him, trembling with rage; and before this too they used to do evil. He said, ‘O my people, these are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear Allah and disgrace me not in the presence of my guests. Is there not among you any right minded man?’
[15:79] And the People of the Wood too were surely wrongdoers. [15:80] So We chastised them also. And they both lie on a manifest way.
