[Machine] A man passed by a group of people and greeted them, and they responded to his greeting. After he passed them, a man from among them said, "By Allah, I dislike this man for the sake of Allah." The people of the gathering said, "Woe to you! You have said something terrible. By Allah, we will inform him." So, they called him back and informed him of what the man had said. Their messenger found the man and informed him of what had been said. The messenger found their prophet and informed him of what had been said, so the man went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I passed by a gathering of Muslims and greeted them, and they responded to my greeting. When I passed them, a man caught up with me and informed me that so-and-so said, 'By Allah, I dislike this man for the sake of Allah.' So, let me ask him, for what reason does he dislike me?" The Prophet ﷺ called the man and asked him about what he had been informed. The man admitted to saying that and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I did say that to him." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Why do you dislike him?" The man replied, "He is my neighbor and I know him well. By Allah, I have never seen him pray any prayer except this obligatory prayer that the righteous and the wicked alike pray." The man said, "Ask him, O Messenger of Allah, if he had ever seen me delaying it beyond its time or making any mistakes in its ablution or in its ruku' or sujud." The Prophet ﷺ asked the man about that, and he replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The man continued, "By Allah, I have never seen him fasting any month other than this month that the righteous and wicked both fast." The man said, "Ask him, O Messenger of Allah, if he had ever seen me breaking my fast during the day or falling short in fulfilling its rights." The Prophet ﷺ asked the man about that, and he replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The man went on, "By Allah, I have never seen him giving anything to a beggar, and I have never seen him spending anything in the cause of Allah except for this charity that the righteous and the wicked alike give." The man said, "Ask him, O Messenger of Allah, if he had ever kept any money from Zakat or ever refrained from giving to someone who asked for it." The Prophet ﷺ asked the man about that, and he replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then said to him, "Get up, for you are better than him."
