Wathilah bin Al-Asqa' (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Do not express pleasure at the
misfortune of a (Muslim) brother lest Allah should bestow mercy upon him and
make you suffer from a misfortune."
[At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary
Calamity,
hardship or bad luck is sent by Allah. Allah Almighty can either revile a
person with his mercy or make him suffer from a misfortune. It’s the nature of
a true believer to feel unhappy when he sees a Muslim suffering, and rejoices
on the happiness of his other fellows in Faith. However it is contrary to the
conduct of a true believer to rejoice over the trouble of another Muslim as
this attitude is very much disliked by Allah. But if a Muslim shows pleasure at
the misfortune of a brother in distress then there is every possibility that
Allah may punish such a person in this world and relieve the one who is in
trouble.
