شَرْحُ رِيَاضِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ كَلَامِ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

A Commentary on Riyadh as-Salihin, drawn from the words of the Master of the Messengers, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

وَلَكِنَّنَا سَبَقَ أَنْ قُلْنَا: إِنَّ هَذِهِ النُّصُوصَ تُحْمَلُ عَلَى مَا إِذَا كَانَ فِي الِاخْتِلَاطِ فِتْنَةٌ وَشَرٌّ، وَأَمَّا إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ فِتْنَةٌ وَشَرٌّ؛ فَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ الَّذِي يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ، خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يُخَالِطُهُمْ وَلَا يَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ.

We have already noted that these texts apply specifically to situations where social interaction leads to temptation or harm. When no such risk exists, a believer who engages with others and patiently endures their slights is superior to one who avoids people and remains untested by their behavior.
