Benefits from the Hadith

  1. Allah Almighty dislikes men who often dispute and argue.
  2. If an oppressed person argues to prove his right in a Shar‘i way and based on the relevant Shar‘i principles, there is nothing wrong with that and his act does not fall under the dispraised disputes.
  3. If a person gets into a dispute, he should possess evidence to prove his right without going to excess in the dispute.
  4. In “the most hateful among men”, the word 'men' is used to express the general idea and not meant to refer to men alone. In fact, women are subject to the same ruling as men.
  5. If a person defeats someone in a dispute or argument for a just cause, Allah Almighty loves him, rather than hating him.
  6. The Hadīth establishes the attribute of hate for Allah Almighty in a way that befits Him.
