Help for the one who abuses you???

Salaam alaykum to all,

Something really upsetting happened to me today and badly need good advice. Someone close
and dear to me disagreed with me on basic Islamic issues wich can easily be backed up
with hadeeths and surah's, but he claimed i am wrong and know nothing of Islam. He then
called me extremely insulting names and even called me a kafir. This hurts me deeply because
i am a practising Muslim and he knows how important Islam is to me. Eventhough he has
been a friend for quite a few years, similar previous incidents and especially today's
incident has led me to the decision to cut off all contact with him. This is something friends
and family have advised me for a long time but i didn't want to give up on him. I would
ask them for advise but their answer wouldn't be objective. I'm hurt by his words but my
sadness for him is stronger, he doesn't seem to realise what his behavior has led to and
it has become hard to talk about Islamic issues. Knowing how badly he behaves and how
wrong it is to call a Muslim a kafir, do i have the obligation to him to show him the truth
about these matters and will there be any sin on me if i don't tell him? Because he
clearly is either ignorant on the subject or doesn't care. I really want all communication to
end with him because i have a strong feeling he won't change, other people who know him as
well have told me to stay away from him and i really don't want to suffer anymore from
his abuse. Is it enough for me to pray to Allah for him to be guided on the right path?
Please, help me.

u know it's interesting there's a verse in the Quran that says when the ignorant adress you just say peace and leave them...

025.063 And the servants of (God) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!";

it doesn't say stay and discuss with them this issue and debate with them...

even in dawah we are asked to discuss with wisdom...

so in this case when someone calls you a kafir and insulting names etc... i think that you giving him "dawah" really isn't going to be beneficial here..
