51. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Whoever gives up telling lies in support of a false claim, a palace will be built for him on the outskirts of Paradise. Whoever gives up argument when he is in the right, a palace will be built for him in the middle (of Paradise). And whoever has good behavior, a palace will be built for him in the highest reaches (of Paradise).'" (Hasan)
51 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ تَرَكَ الْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ، بُنِيَ لَهُ قَصْرٌ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الْمِرَاءَ وَهُوَ مُحِقٌّ، بُنِيَ لَهُ فِي وَسَطِهَا، وَمَنْ حَسَّنَ خُلُقَةُ، بُنِيَ لَهُ فِي أَعْلَاهَا»

50 & 51 Effort must be made to end all disputes, be they of mundane nature or of religious type. Allâh says in the Qur'ân: "And reconciliation is better." (4:128) As soon as a person realizes his mistake, he should recite this Verse so that the dispute is put to an end. The doing of it is of so much greatness, that the person doing it is promised a palace in Paradise as reward. c. In worldly affairs, it is always possible that a person forgoes his due right and ends the dispute. This kind of sacrifice made for the sake of togetherness and unity is rated very highly by Allāh. As a reward for this, the person shall get a palatial abode in the middle of Paradise. d. Muslims must excel in morals so that the daily affairs of life continue to run smoothly. They must cultivate the virtues of good demeanor, friendly disposition and tolerance, and thus avert all chances of dispute. The greater the number of such people in a society, the better will be the chances of peace and amity in it. Hence it is that the person doing it shall be ranked higher than the other two mentioned in the Hadith and shall, therefore, be awarded a higher place in Paradise.
