An elder from among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The believer who mixes (with people) and bears their harm patiently is greater in reward than the believer who does not mix and does not bear people's harm patiently."
