GUARANTEE OF A HOME IN PARADISE (JANNAH)

In a Hadith the Holy Prophet ﷺ said, 

"If a person lets go of his rights to end a dispute, I take responsibility for getting him a home in the middle of Paradise (Jannah)."

Meaning if a person had a genuine claim in a dispute but thinks that if I keeps insisting on getting my rights the dispute will escalate, so I shall let go of my right so that the dispute ends, the Holy Prophet ﷺ is guaranteeing that he will get him a home in the middle of Paradise (jannah). This tells us how keen the Rasool Allah ﷺ was that people should resolve their conflicts and end their disputes. However, if a person is being cruel to another person, and his cruelty becomes unbearable, the victim has a right to defend himself from the oppressor, and also has the right to exact an equal degree of revenge from the oppressor. However, as per the above saying of the Holy Prophet ﷺ one must make their best effort to resolve the dispute.
