LEV1002 It is a negative commandment not to oppress one's fellow-man with words for Scripture says, And you shall not wrong one another [this verse]. [This means] that we should not say to a penitent person, "Remember your original actions"; or to the son of converts to Judaism, "Remember the behavior of your forefathers"; or to ask a matter of wisdom from someone who does not know any wisdom, in order to distress him -- and so any similar way of wronging with words.
