Question:
He asks: Is this hadith established? And what is meant by it, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) swore by three things: that Allah does not increase a person by forgiving

Answer:
Except for 'Isa, yes. And wealth does not decrease through charity,
none humbles himself for Allah but Allah raises himوما تواضع أحد لله إلا رفعه
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2029Sahih (Darussalam)
. Yes, this is an authentic hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And Allah raises the one who is humble before Him and humiliates the one who is arrogant. And as for water, and as for charity, it does not decrease wealth in terms of its blessing and growth, even if it decreases it in terms of quantity; but it does not decrease it in terms of its increase and blessing. Yes. And as for a man who forgives a wrong, yes, if
pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allahعَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:40]
, yes.
