A man forbade evil, which resulted in hostility and boycott from the other party; does this fall under what came in the hadith that the deeds of those who boycott each other are not raised to the sky?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He said: "Your Eminence, I participated in forbidding an evil, and as a result, the other parties became hostile toward me and boycotted me, although I do not harbor any degree of hostility toward them despite the insults I received from them. The question, Your Eminence, is whether I am included among those about whom Allah says:
Give My servant time until they reconcile. أمهلوا عبدي حتى يصطلحا
and that is when deeds are raised?"

The Shaykh : You are not included in this, because the sin of their hostility toward you is upon them. If you did not do what necessitates hostility, but rather did what necessitates loyalty and love—if they were rational, if they were rational—because every person who commands you to do what is right or forbids you from doing what is wrong has done you a favor. Instead of boycotting him and hating him, you should honor him and thank him for this. So, you have nothing upon you. As for them, the sin is upon them because they hated you for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and may Allah protect us from that, meaning that they hated you because you carried out the command of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
