اُردوEn
قُلتُ لِأَبِي أُسَامَةَ أَحَدَّثَكُمُ الْأَعْمَشُ، نا أَبُو يَحْيَى مَوْلَى جَعْدَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فُلَانَةُ تُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَقَالَ: نَعَمْ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: It was said: O Messenger of Allah! Such-and-such woman offers Tahajjud prayer, the narrator stated: Then I narrated it to them just as Jarir narrated it to us, so Abu Usamah affirmed it and said: Yes.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abdush Shakoor Tirmidhi
Benefits:
It is not permissible to harm anyone, because this is contrary to the dignity of a Muslim. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: ((Al-Muslimu man salima al-muslimuna min lisanihi wa yadihi)) (Bukhari, no. 10).... "A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand (other) Muslims are safe."
But to harm a neighbor is a much greater crime, and one should avoid it, because its consequences are very severe. As is evident from the aforementioned hadith, the good deeds of such people are nullified, and causing harm to a neighbor is a greater sin than harming anyone else.
As it is mentioned in the hadith: If a person commits adultery with ten women, his sin is less than if he commits adultery with his neighbor's wife. And it is said: If a person steals from ten houses, his sin is less than if he steals from his neighbor's house. (Adab al-Mufrad, no. 103)
