حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الرَّقِّيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ a> , حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ يُوسُفَ , عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ , عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ , عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ , أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ " .

Benefits and Issues:
➊ In interacting with people, one encounters all kinds of individuals, both good and bad. One should make every possible effort to avoid the evil of bad people, but must remain steadfast in righteousness oneself.
➋ Even if evil becomes widespread in society, it is not permissible to isolate oneself from everyone and retreat to forests or caves like monks; rather, it is necessary to remain within society and strive for its reform.
➌ When one’s faith is in danger, then seclusion is permissible.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه ابن ماجه، الفتن، باب الصبر علي البلاء، حديث:4032، والترمذي، صفة القيامة، حديث:2507 بألفاظ مختلفة.»©Explanation:
In this hadith, the person is considered superior who lives among people, maintains social relations and meetings with them, propagates the religion, participates in their joys and sorrows, and patiently endures the harm and distress caused by them in the course of religious propagation, because he understands that this hardship is inflicted upon him due to the religion. Therefore, he is far better than the person who does not mingle with people, does not maintain social relations, neither propagates the religion nor participates in their joys and sorrows, neither takes cooperation from anyone nor gives it. However, if a person cannot bear harm and, in fact, fears that his own religiosity may be compromised because of it, then in such a case, there is allowance for that person to adopt seclusion and withdrawal.
Imam Ghazali rahimahullah has discussed this matter in detail in "Ihya' al-Ulum."
