Sahih Muslim 2601b (Book 45, Hadith 117) #13695
Making Harm into Blessing

SUMMARY: This hadith is about making a covenant with Allah to make any harm, scolding, cursing or beating of a Muslim into a source of blessing and purification.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle as saying: O Allah, I make a covenant with Thee against which Thou wouldst never go. I am a human being and thus for a Muslim whom I give any harm or whom I scold or upon whom I invoke curse or whom I beat, make this a source of blessing, purification and nearness to Thee on the Day of Resurrection.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِزَامِيَّ - عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَّخِذُ عِنْدَكَ عَهْدًا لَنْ تُخْلِفَنِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ فَأَىُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آذَيْتُهُ شَتَمْتُهُ لَعَنْتُهُ جَلَدْتُهُ فَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُ صَلاَةً وَزَكَاةً وَقُرْبَةً تُقَرِّبُهُ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

This hadith speaks about the importance of treating Muslims with kindness and respect. It encourages us to make an agreement with Allah that any harm we cause to another Muslim should be turned into a source of blessing, purification and nearness to Him on the Day of Resurrection. We should strive to treat our fellow Muslims in such a way that it brings us closer to Allah instead of pushing us away from Him. We must remember that whatever we do will have consequences in the afterlife so it is important for us to act kindly towards one another.
