Dear Professor, according to this hadith, is cursing Satan considered abusive language?
#One_Hadith_One_Wisdom 51
The Noble Prophet (PBUH) said:
Do not insult Satan; simply seek refuge in God from his evil. Insulting him creates a claim, giving Satan a claim against a person. Satan then finds within himself the power to harm that person in retaliation and to assert his claim.
Cursing Satan is not considered abusive language, since God Most High has Himself cursed Satan. Insulting Satan creates a claim against a person and gives Satan the power to retaliate and cause harm. So instead of insulting him, one should seek refuge in God from his evil.
The hadith, without any additions, reads as follows. It appears that the transmitter in the text you submitted is seeking to distort the hadith for their own purposes. Slandering the Prophet of Islam brings the blazing fires of Hell as its reward.
لا تسبوا الشیطان و تعوذوا بالله من شره.
Do not revile Satan; seek refuge in God from his evil.
Cursing is not among the attributes of ḥashm; God Most High has Himself cursed Satan!
ص : 78 و إن علیک لعنتی إلى یوم الدین
And surely My curse will be upon you (Satan) until the Day of Judgment.
