Hadith 6564
عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَسَرَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ سِنَّ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَاسْتَعْدَى عَلَيْهِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ إِنَّ هَذَا دَقَّ سِنِّي قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ كَلَّا إِنَّا سَنُرْضِيكَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ شَأْنَكَ بِصَاحِبِكَ وَأَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُصَابُ بِشَيْءٍ فِي جَسَدِهِ فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهِ خَطِيئَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي يَعْنِي فَعَفَا عَنْهُ
Abu Safar says: A man from the Quraysh broke the tooth of an Ansari man. The Ansari went to seek justice from Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). The Ansari said: He has broken my tooth. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Surely, we will satisfy you. When the Ansari insisted on taking retribution, Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Your matter is in the hands of your companion. Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting nearby; he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among the Muslims forgives a wound inflicted upon his body, Allah Almighty raises his rank and erases his sin. The Ansari said: Did you hear this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes! My ears heard it and my heart remembered it. So the Ansari forgave the Qurayshi.
Hadith 6565
عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُجْرَحُ فِي جَسَدِهِ جِرَاحَةٌ فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِهَا إِلَّا كَفَّرَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِثْلَ مَا تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person is wounded in his body and he forgives (the one who wounded him), then Allah Almighty erases his sins in proportion to his forgiveness.
Hadith 6566
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَا رُفِعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْرٌ فِيهِ الْقِصَاصُ إِلَّا أَمَرَ فِيهِ بِالْعَفْوِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever a case involving retribution (qisas) was presented to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would first command forgiveness.
