Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Acceptance of apology

The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) is narrated to have said, “On the Day of Resurrection, a crier will call saying: Where are those who used to forgive people of their faults. They may come before their Provider and have their reward because every Muslim who used to do so is entitled to enter paradise.”[Abu al - Sheikh - From Abbas]

The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) narrated to have said: “If any one desires his position to be exalted on the Day of Judgement, he should forgive him who might have wronged him and give him who had not given him and should join ties of relationship with one who might have broken ties of relationship with him and forebear a person who might have spoken Ill of him.” [lbn Asakar, Abu Hurairah]

Hadrat ‘Abdullah bin Amr (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that a man came to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) and said “Messenger of ALLAH, how often shall I forgive a servant?” He gave no reply, so the man repeated what he had said but he still kept silent. When he asked for the third time he replied, “Forgive him seventy times daily.” [Tirmizi, Mishkat]
