THE WAY OF PURIFYING ONE’S INNER-SELF: 11 (a talk by Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani DB)

 THERE IS A LIMIT TO GOOD MANNERS

 

Hazrat Thanvi (may Allah Ta’ala bless him) further said;

 

“It has been narrated in a hadith that when you have explained three times to a person asking for financial help why you can’t help him at that time, and he still keeps insisting to the point that it starts becoming distressing for you, then one is allowed to decline firmly. It tells us that there is a limit to good manners too, and a person has not been obligated to keep tolerating distress being caused by others beyond his limits.”

Draw up a list of all your acquaintances, all your friends, all your relatives, and then seek forgiveness from all of them.
