Benefits: … Forgiveness is such an ornament that the person adorned with it becomes beloved and popular among people, and beloved in the sight of Allah Ta’ala. This quality gives rise to patience (sabr), forbearance (hilm), endurance and tolerance, and pardoning and overlooking faults, due to which even enemies become friends. Forgiveness is a trait of wise and intelligent people; they interact with every person in its light.
