Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a man named Abdullah, nicknamed Donkey, used to make the Prophet (ﷺ) laugh. The Prophet (ﷺ) had lashed him for drinking. One day, he was brought, and the Prophet ordered his lashing. A man from the people said: O Allah, curse him, how often he is brought! The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not curse him, for by Allah, I know he loves Allah and His Messenger. [Narrated by al-Bukhari.]
In another narration by him: When he left, some people said: May Allah disgrace you. He said: Do not say this, do not aid the devil against him.
