Hate

Lessons learnt from this Hadith: To hate another person is an evil habit. 2. As Muslims we should love each other. 3. We must always keep our hearts clean. 4. If we had a problem or a fight, we should be the first to ask for forgiveness.

Story Hadhrat Anas says, "Once we were sitting with Rasulullah when he said, 'Very soon a person from Jannah will enter.' A man from the Ansaar entered with his shoes in his left hand and water dripping from his beard (showing that he had just made wudhu). The next day Rasulullah repeated his statement and the same man who entered with his shoes in his left hand and water dripping from his beard. The third day the same thing happened.

When Rasulullah went away, Hadhrat Abdullah bin Umar went up to that man and said, 'I had an argument with my father and took an oath that I will not stay at home for three days. Please allow me to stay with you for three days.' Hadhrat Abdullah bin Umar spent the three nights with that Sahaabi and did not see him do any extra ibaadah. After the three days he said to that Sahaabi, “Idid not have any argument with my father. I wanted to see what special action you are doing that made Rasulullah declare you a man of Jannah. Thus I only made an excuse to come and stay with you. Now after staying with you, I don't see anything special.”

The Sahaabi said, “I don't do anything special The Sahaabi said, “I don't do anything special. However, I don't have hatred nor jealousy for any Muslim.” Hadhrat Abdullah then said, “This must be the quality that makes you a Jannati.”
