It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was distributing something, when a man came from the front and stood bowing before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pricked him with a stick that was with him, which caused a wound on his face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Come forward and take retribution from me." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have forgiven you."
