Are You Hurt? 20 Formulas for a Forbearing Heart

About This Book

This short book is built on the words of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) about the virtue of answering envy and hurt with forbearance and kindness. He summarized twenty "formulas" that help a person stay patient when others cause harm, and each one has its own chapter here.

The theme matches a hadith reported by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah, in which the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that the Muslim who mixes with people and patiently bears their harm is better than the one who neither mixes with them nor bears their harm.
