Bismillah
as salam alykom
to my brother and sister. sometimes talking thu typing convey wrong impression. I am sure both of u didnt really mean to get the conversation to this.
And to settle this here is what I know of hadeeth regarding the act of arguing:
Narrated under the authority of Anas Ibn Malek that the Messenger of Allah salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam said: "One who avoids lying - which is false- a palace shall be constructed for him in the outer parts of Jannah, and one who leave arguing while he is on the right side a palace shall be constructed for him in the middle of Jannah and one who adopts good mannerism a palace shall be constructed for him in the high level of Jannah" (reported by Termidhi).
Usually there is a thin line that one must realize when we talk with others, a thin line between wanting to prove we are correct and between just passing the info. Even in making dawa to others, we must be careful, we just throw the seed and go, we dont stand and insist to see the fruit or else we will be looking to attain personal credit.
In all cases if we are doing this for Allah our intention is known to Allah and thus we get the reward.
In another hadeeth
Narrated under the authority of Jaber that the Messenger of Allah salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam :" Dont learn knowledge for the purpose of showing off while talking to scholars, nor to argue with unwise people nor to be able to take the best position (for better understaning to be in the spot of light while in a gathering) in a gathering" 0reported by Ibn Majeh).
there are more hadeeth Insh aAllah will look for them but I think the above two convey the meaning.
At the end we are all Muslims and I am sure the intention is good even if sometimes we sound harsh on each other. It is just out of much concern specially when someone is going thru the same experience. Out of much concern from that person, he/she wants so much the other party to benefit and be able to succeed where the former did. Sometimes I fall into this, when I go thru a certain situation and Allah helps me out doing a certain act or manner, I try to help others by sharing this when they are in the same situation..
Did I make any sense
