šŸƒ Abu Qilaabah said:


ā€œIf some information reaches you about your brother which you dislike, then search for an excuse for him.

And if you do not find an excuse for him, then say:

ā€œMaybe he has an excuse which I have no knowledge of.ā€


šŸƒ And Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab said:


ā€œDo not think about a word that exits from a Muslimā€™s mouth except that you interpret it in the BEST manner.ā€


šŸƒ Jaā€˜far ibn Muhammad said:


ā€œIf you hear something about your brother that you dislike, then look for excuses for him, from one to seventy excuses;

if you find an excuse for him (all well and good), otherwise say:

Perhaps he has an excuse that I do not know of.ā€

[Al-Bayhaqi- ash-Shuā€˜ab (8344)]


šŸƒ Shaikh Ibn Baz said:


ā€œWhat is legislated for the believer is to respect his brother if he offers an excuse to him, to accept his apology if possible, and to think positively of him as much as possible, striving to keep hearts free of resentment and aiming to bring about unity and co-operation in doing good.

It was narrated from ā€˜Umar radhi Allaahu anhu that he said: Do not think badly of any word uttered by your brother when you can find a good interpretation for it.ā€

(Majmooā€˜ Fatawa Ibn Baz, 26/365)



ā£ļø Points to hold on to:


ā–ŖļøThink POSITIVE of others.


ā–ŖļøLet go of GRUDGES.


ā–ŖļøSMILE and MOVE ON.


ā–ŖļøAnger only imprisons ā€œYOUā€.
