It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Abbas bin Mirdas al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the evening of Arafah the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for forgiveness and mercy for his Ummah and implored at length. Allah Almighty answered him (peace and blessings be upon him): I have forgiven your Ummah, except for the wrongs they have done to one another (that is, matters of the rights of people will remain). At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) again pleaded in the court of Allah: "O my Lord! You are surely able to forgive the wrongdoer as well, and to give the wronged one something better than the injustice done to him." That evening the matter remained only at that. Then when the next day came and it was the morning of Muzdalifah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) again made the same supplication for his Ummah. Only a short while had passed when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to smile. Some of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah! May my father and mother be ransomed for you, you are smiling at a time when you did not usually laugh. What made you laugh? May Allah Almighty always keep you smiling." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I smiled at the state of the enemy of Allah, Iblis: when he learned that Allah Almighty had accepted my supplication concerning my Ummah and had forgiven the wrongdoer too, he fell down crying out for destruction and ruin, and began throwing dust on his head." And in one narration he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I laughed at his panic and helplessness."
