    Calling Other Muslims Bad Names

    From Bukhari:
    Hadrat Ibn Umar (Raddi Allah Ho Ta Ala Anho) used to consider Khawarij to be
    the worst of all Creations. He said that (the characteristic of ) Khawarij
    stick those Ayahs which are for Kuffar onto the Muslims.

    (Excellent description of the Current Khawarij even who follow in the steps
    of "their ancestors")

    Also for calling Muslims Kafir/Mushrik/Faasiq, both Bukhari and Muslim state
    several Ahadith which make it clear that for 2 Muslims, if the other person
    is not a Kaafir/Mushrik then the caller is himself/herself a Kaafir/Mushrik.

    (Naooz O Billah E Minha)

    Also Hadrat Huzaifa Ibn E Yaman (RA) narrates that the Rasool Ullah (Sall
    Allah Ho ALaihe Wa Ala Aalihee Wa Sallam) said that of the things that I am
    afraid of for you (Ummah) is that one of them becomes a big Preacher of the
    Quran till the time that he becomes filled with the enjoyment of it, His
    clothes and bed will be Islam. Then Allah Ho Ta Ala will put him in a bad
    task. The Benefits from the Qura'an will separate from him. Then when this
    happens, he will all the time be busy calling my Ummah mushrik. I asked, O
    Rasool Ullah (Sall Allah Ho Alaihe Wa Ala Aalihee Wa Sallam) will the
    persons, he calls mushrik, be actually mushrik? The Rasool Ullah (Sall
    Allah Ho ALaihe Wa Ala Aalihee Wa Sallam) said, No, but this unfortunate
    person will himself be out of Islam.

    (Masnad E Abu Yaalaa, Tafseer E Ibn E Kaseer)

    From Bukhari and Muslim:
    Hadrat Abu Huraira (Raddi Allah Ho Ta Ala ANho): it is narrated that the
    Rasool Ullah (Sall Allah Ho ALaihe Wa Ala Aalihee Wa Sallam) used
    to stop people from fasting continously day and night. So, one person came
    and asked: Ya Rasool Ullah (Sall Allah Ho ALaihe Wa Ala Aalihee Wa Sallam),
    you also keep fast day and night. The Rasool Ullah (Sall Allah Ho ALaihe Wa
    Ala Aalihee Wa Sallam) said:
    "Which one of you is like me?"
    (All Sahab E Ikraam (Ridwaan Ullah E Ta Ala Ajmaeen) kept quiet.)
    The Rasool Ullah (Sall Allah Ho ALaihe Wa Ala Aalihee Wa Sallam) said:
    Indeed I spend the night in such a condition that my Allah Gives me Food and
    Drink.

    From Bukhari and Muslim:
    It is narrated from Hadrat Ans Raddi Allah ho Ta Ala Anho that I saw Rasool
    Ullah Sall Allah ho ALaihe wA Aalihee Wa Sallam . The barber was cutting His
    hair and the Sahaba (Ridwaan Ullah E Ta Ala Alayhim Ajmaeen) were standing
    all around Him and did not want that even a single hair from the Rasool
    Ullah (Sall Allah Ho ALaihe Wa Ala Aalihee Wa Sallam) would fall down,

    In Shifa:
    Hadrat Abdullah Ibn E Umar E Farooq (Raddi Allah Ho Ta Ala Anho) used to put
    his hand on the Minbar (dias) of the Rasool Ullah (Sall Allah Ho Alaihe WA
    Aalihee Wa Sallam) on which the Rasool Ullah (Sall Allah Ho Alaihe Wa Ala
    Aalihee Wa Sallam) used to do Khutba and then he put his hand to his face.

    From Bukhari as well as Muslim:
    From Hadrat Abu Hujaifa (RA) it is narrated that I found the Rasool Ullah
    (Sall Allah Ho ALaihe Wa Aalihee Wa Sallam) in a red lather tent . and saw
    that Hadrat Bilal(Raddi Allah Ho Ta Ala Anho) was holding the used water
    from the wudu of the Rasool Ullah (Sall Allah Ho Alaihe Wa Aalihee Wa
    Sallam) and people were extrending their hands towards the water. So whoever
    got the water, he rubbed it on his body while whoever did not get it, he got
    the wetness from his companion's hand.

    Mishkaat Baab Ul Musafiha:
    It is narrated from Hadrat Zarraa (Radii Allah Ho Ta Ala Anho) and he is
    from the Wafad E Abd Ul Qays that when we came to the Medina, we hurriedly
    got off our animals and we used to kiss the hands and the feet of the Rasool
    Ullah (Sall Allah Ho ALaihe Wa Aalihee Wa Sallam)

    (O so, the Sahaba E Ikraam Ridwaan Ullah E Ta Ala Ajmaeen bent down . . . so
    they must be knowing what is shirk and what is Tauhid better than our
    1-Hadith Maulvis! )

    Also, see Mishkaat Bab-ul Kabair for other instances.

    Mishkaat (Also Abu Dawood and Tirimzi):
    From Hadrat Aisha (Raddi Allah Ho Ta Ala Anha) it is narrated that the Holy
    Prophet (Sall Allah Ho ALaihe Wa Ala Aalihee Wa Sallam) kissed Hadrat Usman
    Ibn E Mazoon even though he had died.

    Once Hadrat Hassan E Basri (Rahmat Ullah E Ta Ala Alayh) said: "If you meet
    the Sahaba E Ikraam (Ridwaan Ullah E Ta Ala Ajmaeen), you would think they
    are out of their minds while if they see you, they would call you Munafiqeen
    (Hypocrites)"
