Forgive “And verily, whosoever shows patience and forgives, that would truly be from the things recommended by Allah.” (42:43) “Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., don’t punish them).” (7:199) “So overlook (O Muhammad (PBUH)), their faults with gracious forgiveness.” (15:85) Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I can see the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) look like one of the Prophets of Allah whose people beat and made him bleed while he was wiping the blood from his face and supplicating: “O Allah, forgive my people because they know not.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. The Messenger of Allah was seated in a gathering with the Sahabah when he looked towards the entrance and said, “A man of Paradise is coming.” At that instance someone who seemed to be very ordinary entered the mosque where they were seated. A Sahabi was curious as to why the Prophet .‘ said this, so he followed the man to his house. This Sahabi told the man that he was a traveler and stayed as a guest. For three days the Sahabi saw nothing unusual, so he finally told the man what the Prophet had said and asked him what was so special. The man thought for a long time and said, “There might be one thing — before going to sleep every night I forgive everyone and sleep with a clean heart.”
