What is the meaning of the Hadith: "I guarantee a house in the outskirts of Paradise for whoever gives up disputing, even if he is in the right"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The noble Hadith guarantees the Muslim three houses in Paradise: - A house in the lowest part of Paradise for whoever abandons disputation even if he is in the right. - A house in the middle of Paradise for whoever abandons lying even when joking. - And a house in the highest part of Paradise for whoever perfects his character.

"Al-Miraa'" (disputation) is a type of argument that leads to objecting to others' speech to expose its flaws. It is abandoned by refraining from objecting and denying. So, whatever is true is affirmed, and whatever is false and not related to matters of religion is left unaddressed.
