Keep in mind, the result of cruelty is terrible. A cruel person will suffer with the punishments on the Day of Judgement, but sometimes he also suffers in this world. Sayyiduna Shaykh Muhammad Bin Isma’eel Bukhari عَـلَيْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـبَارِی has reported in ‘Sahih Bukhari’: Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash’ari رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrated that the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Undoubtedly, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ gives respite to the cruel person, until, when He عَزَّوَجَلَّ grabs him, then He عَزَّوَجَلَّ does not release him.’ After saying this, the Prophet of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم recited verse 102 of Surah Hood, part 12:

وَ  کَذٰ لِکَ   اَ خۡذُ   رَ بِّکَ   اِذَ اۤ   اَ خَذَ   ا لۡقُرٰ ی   وَ  ہِیَ   ظَا لِمَۃٌ   ؕ   اِنَّ   اَ خۡذَ ہٗۤ    اَ لِیۡمٌ   شَدِ یۡدٌ    ﴿۱۰۲﴾

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And such is the seizing of your Lord when He seizes the towns upon their injustice; indeed His seizing is painful, severe.

(Part 12, Surah Hood, verse 102) (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 3, pp. 247, Hadees 4686)

Rights of people and the blessed sayings of Beloved Mustafa صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

Dear Islamic brothers! In the blessed Ahadees, the importance of the rights of people have been mentioned at many places. Let’s listen to 4 blessed sayings of the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

1.         Everything that belongs to a Muslim is Haraam for another Muslim – his possessions; his honour and his blood. It is enough for a person to be cruel that he considers his Muslim brother inferior to himself.

(Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 354, Hadees 4882)

2.         Whoever has the burden of slandering or oppressing his brother, it is necessary upon him that he asks the person for forgiveness here [in this world] before the Day of Judgement, because neither any dirham nor dinar will be there. If he has some good deeds, they will be taken away equal to the violation of rights and given to the victim. Otherwise the sins of the victim will be transferred to the account of the violator.’

(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 128, Hadees 2448)
