Certain people blaming you? Speaking ill of you? Not pleased with you?
Ponder over this:
A man said to al-Hasan al- Basri (RaHimullah): " The people sit around
you so that they may find fault with you!". So al-Basri(RaHimu llah)
replied: " Indeed, I encouraged my soul to aspire for Paradise, so it
aspired for it. Then I encouraged it to aspire for salvation from
Hellfire and so it aspired for it. Then I encouraged it to aspire for
salvation from the people, but I didn't find a way to that. Indeed,
the people were not pleased with their Creator although He provides
for them, so how can they be pleased with another creation like
themselves?"
