CHAPTER 14البُغْض [Bughd] HatredAllāh permits certain types of hatred: indeed, through revelationand the actions of the Noble Prophet , we see that there arecertain conditions whereby hatred can be deserving of merit.However, the hatred that is misguided and falls outside of thebounds of religion has no justification. Here, we are concernedwith the hatred for other than that which Allāh has decreeddespicable.HATREDSomething similar to hatred is malice (hiqd), which asserts itself asrepressed and frustrated anger when one lacks the power to takerevenge or retribution. A more extreme form of anger is rancour(ghill), a despicable emotion that is rooted in being extremely angryat a person to the point that one wishes harm upon him.The Prophet once said to his Companions, “Do you want to seea man of Paradise?” A man then passed by and the Prophet said,“That man is one of the people of Paradise.” One Companion ofthe Prophet took it upon himself to learn what it was about thisman that earned him such a commendation from the Messengerof Allāh . He spent time with this man and observed him closely:He noticed that he did not perform the night prayer vigil (tahajjud)or anything extraordinary; he appeared to be an average man ofMadinah. The Companion finally confronted the man and told himwhat the Prophet had said about him and asked if he did anythingspecial. The man gave it some thought, and eventually replied, “Theonly thing that I can think of, other than what you have seen, is thatI make sure that I never sleep with any rancour in my heart towardsany believer, nor do I envy anyone for any goodness that Allāh hasgiven them.” That was his secret. [Musnad A#mad 12697]145
