An incident from the life of Imam Shafi'i (rahmatullah alayh) that we need to read daily:

Imam Shafi'i (rahmatullah alayh)'s Beautiful Advice

Whilst sitting in Imam Shafi'i' ( rahmatullah alay)"s class one day, his student Yunus ibn Abd al A'ala differed with him & got so angry that he left the class & went home.

That night, Yunus heard a knock on his door & asked who it was. The one knocking answered, "Muhammad Ibn Idrees!"

Yunus thought of everyone who he knew by that name except the Imam. Upon opening the door, he was shocked to see Imam Shafi'i. (rah)

The Imam said: "O Yunus! Hundreds of issues unite us, & only one issue divided us?
Don't try to be triumphant in all differences;
sometimes, winning hearts is
more important than winning
situations.
Don't demolish bridges u built
& crossed, for u may need them
again one day for ur return.
Always hate what is wrong,
but do not hate the one who errs.
Hate sin with all your heart, but
forgive & have mercy on the
sinner.
Criticize speech, but respect the
speaker.
Our job is to wipe out the
disease, not the patient.

This is truly very sound advice. It is easy to lose it..it is easy to burn the bridges....it is easy to hate the person... It is easy to take vengeance.
But where does that get us?
It only makes us bitter & empty.

Beautiful wisdom that deserves to be memorized & practised by each one of us.
