The Virtue of Forgiveness and Pardon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it better for one who forgives a person who owes him money or has wronged him, or for one who demands his right in the Hereafter?
Answer:
If he permits and forgives his brother, especially if he is a needy poor person, or if he claims that it is a hardship for him if he is forgiven for money or a wrong he has committed against him, such as striking him or insulting him, and he forgives him, then his reward with Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is greater for him. Allah the Exalted says: [al-Shura: 40]. And He says: : [al-Baqarah: 237]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 2588 But if forgiveness leads a person to evil and corruption and supports him in falsehood, then it is better not to forgive. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

Allah the Exalted says:
but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah
فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِAnd to forego it is nearer to righteousness
وَأَنْ تَعْفُوا أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىno one forgives another except that Allah increases his honor
ما زاد الله عبدًا بعفو إلا عزًاThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
