Surah Yunus, Ayat 88


Ayat 88. And Musa (Moses) said: "Our Lord! You have indeed bestowed on Firaun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs splendor and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord! That they may lead men astray from Your Path. Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment." 

Hazrat Jarir bin Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "He who is deprived of forbearance, tenderly feelings and gentleness is, in fact, deprived of good.'' [Muslim Book 32, Hadith Number 6272].  

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yunus Ayat 88. "Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts,"
This Hadith brings out that Allah enjoins softness and dislikes stiffness in human relations. Allah assures of reward for gentle behaviour in society, not for unkindness or anything like that. However, inflexibility is preferred to flexibility when there arises a question of religious matters and the limits set by Allah.
