The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And whoever is patient and forgives, indeed that is among the matters requiring determination.”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the exhortation to patience and forgiveness, as He said:
And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters [requiring] determination. ولمن صبر وغفر إن ذلك من عزم الأمور
[Ash-Shuraa 42:43]
However, you must note the preceding verse: that there must be reform in that.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that matters differ in terms of determination and what is less than that, as He said:
Indeed that is among the matters requiring determination إن ذلك من عزم الأمور
There is no doubt that they differ; some are undertaken by one with sincere determination and complete honor, while others are less than that.

The questioner : ...So is it not permissible for him to curse him with more than his injustice?

The Shaykh : This is the obligatory duty, but one might think that this injustice is not one in which it is permissible to overlook it, and it is a great injustice, such as the supplication of Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) against those who wronged him. He said that they wrong the people, do not distribute justice equally, and delay the prayer from its time. So he supplicated against them with a great supplication: “O Allah, blind his sight, prolong his life, and expose him to trials” So one might say that this is greater than his injustice, but in reality it is not greater, because his injustice includes disparaging the one in authority, who appointed such a person over the people. Yes.
