FAMILIAL DISPUTES AND THEIR RESOLUTION - Part 1:1. English translation of a talk by Mufti Taqi Usmani DB.
Hazrat Abul Darda (may Allah Ta’ala be pleased with him) has narrated that the Holy Prophet ﷺ said,
“Should I tell you about a status which is even more exalted than Salah (Namaz), Sawm (fasting) and Sadaqah (charity)?”
The Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them all) got intrigued and said, “O Prophet of Allah ﷺ! Do tell us about that act so that we perform it and as a result Allah Ta’ala grant us even more thawab (reward in the Hereafter) than these acts of worship.” After that the Holy Prophet ﷺ said,
“That act is resolving disputes between people.”
In the next sentence, the Holy Prophet ﷺ said,
“Interpersonal discord, hatred and conflicts shave things off.”
In another Hadith, while elaborating upon this, the Holy Prophet ﷺ said,
“I do not say that these interpersonal conflicts shave off your hair. Rather, these conflicts shave off your Deen.”
MISSING JAMA’AT FOR RESOLVING A DISPUTE
The Holy Prophet ﷺ led the Salah in Masjid Nabvi his entire life. Obviously, who could lead the Salah in his presence, and who could be more punctual in coming for Jama’at (congregation for Salah) than the Holy Prophet ﷺ? In his entire life there was only one occasion when the Holy Prophet ﷺ could not come to Masjid Nabvi for Salahand Hazrat Abdul Rahman Ibn Auf (may Allah Ta’ala be pleased with him) led the Salah. The reason for not being able to reach Masjid Nabvi for that particular Salah was that the Holy Prophet ﷺ had been informed that a dispute had arisen between two groups of Muslims in a tribe. The Holy Prophet ﷺ had gone to that tribe to resolve their dispute and to restore peace between them. This took so long that the time of next Salah came. When the Sahabah (companions of the Holy Prophet ﷺ) saw that he was not present, then Hazrat Abdul Rehman Ibn Auf (may Allah Ta’ala be pleased with him) led the prayer.
In his entire life this was the only occasion when the Holy Prophet ﷺ could not come to Masjid Nabvi at the time of Salah in times of health. And the reason for that was that he had gone to resolve disputes and end discord between Muslims. The Noble Quran and Hadith are full of commandments that disputes and discord between Muslims should not be tolerated at any cost, and as soon any conflict arises every effort should be made to resolve it because these conflicts destroy a person’s Deen.
