(Shortcomings other than ḥudūd are pardonable)
Hadith 3569
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أقيلوا ذَوي الهيآت عثراتهم إِلَّا الْحُدُود» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
‘A’isha reported the Prophet as saying, “Forgive the people of good qualities their slips, but not faults to which prescribed penalties apply.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
