Salaam all,

9:61
وَمِنْهُمُ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ النَّبِيَّ وَيِقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌ قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Waminhumu allatheena yuthoona alnnabiyya wayaqooloona huwa othunun qul othunu khayrin lakum yuminu biAllahi wayuminu lilmumineena warahmatun lillatheena amanoo minkum waallatheena yuthoona rasoola Allahi lahum AAathabun aleemun

The Aya says:

And amongst them those who hurt the prophet and say: “He is a listener/ believer”. Respond (oh Muhammad): “Listener of good. He has faith in Allah and believes the faithful and he is a mercy for those who attained faith amongst you. And as for those who hurt Allah’s messenger, to them belongs painful suffering”
My personal note:
The claim that he is UTHUN which is the word for ear suggests that he is a listener and a believer and they considered this as a negative attribute when the Aya suggests that this is a positive attribute of the leadership to be listening and believing the good that comes from those who are faithful rather than view them with suspicion and doubt and that is certainly a sign of great leadership is to take people with trust unless there is a real compelling reason for otherwise.

The Aya also uses two terms following the word “yuminu”. The first was followed by the letter “bi” and it carries trust in and safety in and so on. The other was followed by the letter “li” and when that happens it carries the meaning of belief mainly and so on as in trusting that what they say is true or at least mostly true.
