Grieve not when others blame and disparage you
They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance… (Qur’an 3: 111)
…and be not distressed because of what they plot. (Qur’an 16: 127)
…and harm them not. And put your trust in Allah… (Qur’an 33: 48)
…but Allah cleared him fMoosa] of that which they alleged… (Qur’an 33: 69)
An Arab poet said:
“The vast ocean feels no harm,
When the boy pitches into it a rock.”
In a hadith that has a hasan grading, the Prophet (bpuh) said: “Do not speak ill to me of my Companions, for verily, I would love to leave you with a sound breast.”
