O ye who believe ! Let not some men among you laugh at others : It may be that the ( latter ) are better than the ( former ) : Nor let some women laugh at others : It may be that the ( latter are better than the ( former ) : Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other , nor call each other by ( offensive ) nicknames : Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness , ( to be used of one ) after he has believed : And those who do not desist are ( indeed ) doing wrong .
