The Status of the Faith of a Neighbor Who Is Rude to His Neighbor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (By Allah! He does not believe, and by Allah! He does not believe, the one whose neighbor is not safe from his harm) So what is your opinion, O your Excellency, if my neighbor is rude to me?
If he is rude to you, then he is not a believer, but the meaning is not that he is a disbeliever; rather, he is not a believer with complete faith.Meaning: Something is lacking in his faith; because the negation of faith sometimes means major disbelief, and sometimes it means the sinner who has done what contradicts the perfection of faith.If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He does not believe if he did such and such. One looks at whether his action is a cause of disbelief: if it is, then the negation of faith is absolute; and if his action is not a cause of disbelief, then the negation of faith is qualified.Meaning: It is the negation of complete faith.So the meaning is: He does not believe.Meaning: [He does not have] complete faith; rather, his faith is deficient.
