💓 *Not Getting Angry at Others' Reproach and Criticism*

Hazrat Thanvi (Rahmatullahi Alaih) narrates:

"When someone speaks ill of me or criticizes and reproaches me, I do not get angry. Instead, I say that my entire life in this world was spent living off others for free, and I hope that in the same way, I will get Paradise (Jannah) for free as well, because I do not possess good deeds of my own. The hard-earned good deeds of others will become the cause of my entry into Paradise, In sha Allah. Those who indulge in backbiting and slander against me are, in reality, giving me their good deeds... So, what reason is there to be angry with them?"
