Beautiful Conduct, Honesty and Justice of Islam
Sublime Conduct with Neighbours
Hasan al-Basri (rahmatullahi alayhi) had a Christian neighbour who had a toilet on top of his house. Urine used to seep through from the toilet into the house of Hasan al-Basri (rahmatullahi alayhi), who ordered that a container be placed beneath that area so that the drops would fall therein. At night, he would dispose of the contents. One day, he was ill and his Christian neighbour came to visit him. When he noticed what was going on, he asked,
“How long have you been patiently bearing my filth?”
Hasan al-Basri (rahmatullahi alayhi) replied, “Twenty years.”
On hearing this, he decided to accept Islam.
