Once an evil man was slandering Imam Al Baqer After a while he noticed that the Imam was not responding to him at all, so he said: “I’m talking to you!”. So the Imam said in response: “And I am ignoring you”.
Once a follower of Mu’awiyah came to Madina. When he saw our 2nd Imam, Imam Hasan ahle salaam he started to shout names and use foul language at the Imam Hasan ahle salaam, because Mu’awiyah had told him horrible things about Imam Hasan ahle salaam .
The followers of Imam Hasan ahle salaam wanted to punish the man for what he had said but Imam Hasan ahle salaam told them to leave him alone.
Imam Hasan ahle salaam then turned to the man and greeted him with “Salaam” after which Imam asked the man if he would like to come to his house for food and a rest as he had just come from a long trip.
When the man saw the Akhlaq of Imam ahle salaam, he realised that what Mu’awiyah had told him about the Imam ahle salaam was untrue and he felt very ashamed of how he had spoken.
The man asked Imam ahle salaam for forgiveness. Thereafter, whenever he heard anyone saying anything against Imam Hasan ahle salaam he would correct them.
Moral:
Never get angry at someone when they are angry – To punish someone who has hurt you, you punish him by being good towards him!
No matter how other people act you should always have perfect akhlaq (manners).
Never believe bad things about other people that you have heard because it may not be true.
