(Among the people whom Allah Ta\u2019ala loves is) a person who has an evil neighbour who causes harm to him, and he patiently endures his harm until Allah Ta\u2019ala suffices him against him, either through life or death (i.e. through Allah Ta\u2019ala giving that person a chance to change his ways in his lifetime or through that person passing away).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is reported regarding Hazrat Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) that he had a neighbour who was a Christian. Hazrat Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) lived in the lower storey of the building, while his Christian neighbour lived above him in the upper level. The sewage of his Christian neighbour from the upper level used to leak into his home. However, Hazrat Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) never complained to his neighbour nor informed him of this.<\/p>\n<p>Hazrat Hasan (rahimahullah) instructed that a container be placed beneath the leak so that the sewage would fall into it and would not mess his home. At night, when there was no one to observe what was happening, he would take the container out of his home and dispose of the sewage.<\/p>\n<p>One day, when Hazrat Hasan (rahimahullah) was ill, his Christian neighbour came to visit him. When he entered the home of Hazrat Hasan (rahimahullah) and saw the container filled with sewage, he realized that it was coming from his home. In embarrassment, he asked, \u201cHow long has this sewage been leaking for?\u201d Hazrat Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) replied, \u201cFor the last twenty years.\u201d\u00a0 Upon hearing this, the neighbour was so overcome and affected by the patient and tolerant conduct of Hazrat Hasan Basri (rahimahullah) that he immediately removed his traditional Christian garment and accepted Islam.
