بَابُ الْعَفْوِ وَالصَّفْحِ عَنِ النَّاسِChapter: Forgiving and Pardoning People
Hadith 244
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: ﴿خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ﴾ [الأعراف: 199]، قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ مَا أَمَرَ بِهَا أَنْ تُؤْخَذَ إِلاَّ مِنْ أَخْلاَقِ النَّاسِ، وَاللَّهِ لَآخُذَنَّهَا مِنْهُمْ مَا صَحِبْتُهُمْ.
It is narrated from Wahb bin Kaysan (may Allah have mercy on him) that I heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) recite this verse on the pulpit: «﴿خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ﴾» [الأعراف: 199] "Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant." Then he said: By Allah, this verse was revealed regarding people's manners. By Allah, as long as I have dealings with people, I will certainly act upon its command.
