A House in Paradise for Leaving Arguments, Lies and Bad Character
أَنَا زَعِيمٌ بِبَيْتٍ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ تَرَكَ الْمِرَاءَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُحِقًّا وَبِبَيْتٍ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ تَرَكَ الْكَذِبَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَازِحًا وَبِبَيْتٍ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ حَسَّنَ خُلُقَهُ

Ana za'imun bi-baytin fi rabadil-jannati liman tarakal-mira'a wa in kana muhiqqa, wa bi-baytin fi wasatil-jannati liman tarakal-kadhiba wa in kana maziha, wa bi-baytin fi a'lal-jannati liman hassana khuluqah
Translation
Narrated Abu Umamah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "I guarantee a house in the surroundings of Paradise for a man who avoids quarrelling even if he were in the right, a house in the middle of Paradise for a man who avoids lying even if he were joking, and a house in the upper part of Paradise for a man who makes his character good."
Practice This Today
Today, let go of one argument even if you are right, and avoid even a 'harmless' lie in a joke. Each is a step toward a house in Jannah.
