Imam al-Ajurri رحمه الله said:
❝Whoever wishes to attain the levels of the strangers, let him bear with patience the harm he will meet from his parents, his spouse, his brothers and relatives.
If one were to ask, ‘How can they harm me seeing as I am beloved to them and they to me?’
It is said in reply: ‘You have opposed them in their love of this Dunya and their great desire for it. They, in order to attain this world, do not care what they lose of their religion; if you follow them in this, they will love you; if you oppose them and instead traverse the path to the Akhirah by following the truth, they will behave coarsely towards you.
Your parents will be pained and angry at your actions, your spouse will vexed at you and seek separation and your brothers and relatives will rarely meet you.’❞
(Al-Ghuraba of Imam Al-Ajurri (d.320 AH))
