Yes.

He asks: Is the one who forgives his brother, while he is unable to take his right from him, rewarded in the same way as the one who forgives?
The Shaykh:
No, no. Forgiveness is only when one has the ability. Allah is the Forgiving, the All-Powerful. Forgiveness is only when one has the ability. As for forgiveness when one is weak, he has no share in it. This is not for him. Yes.
