The questioner : In truth, a man used to love singing, so I advised him many times and gave him beneficial tapes, advising him to exchange the singing tapes for beneficial ones. Then he returned to singing a second time, so he curses and swears at me. I advise him at times, and he says, "You are forbidden."
The Shaykh : Yes, I say, "Rejoice in good, for what has befallen you in calling to Allah is a sign. For when a person calls to Allah and is harmed for the sake of Allah the Exalted and is patient, he has a share in the reward of the callers, and he follows the example of the Prophets (peace be upon them), as Allah the Exalted said:."
So you should be patient with his words. If he curses you, and you are, if Allah wills, not deserving of his curse, then the curse returns to him. If he insults you, then that is good deeds he gives to you from his good deeds. So be patient and seek reward from Allah, ask Allah to guide him, and repeat your calling to him and others, and be patient with what has befallen you.
