Salad

Allah SWT said to his messenger Prophet Muhammad PBUH:

“And say to my slaves (believers) that they should only say those words that are the best in which no one’s heart is hurt. Because Satan, verily, provokes discord among them. Surely, Satan is to man an open enemy. ”                                –  Al-Isra 17:53
