Sahih Muslim 843e (Book 43, Hadith 15) #13040
Kindness in the Face of Adversity

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger ﷺ showed mercy and kindness to a person who had wronged him.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: We went along with Allah's Messenger and as we reached the place Dhat-ur-Riqa; the rest of the hadith is the same, but there is no mention of the word that Allah's Messenger did not harm him.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ ‏.‏ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَعْرِضْ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's exemplary behavior when he was wronged by someone. Despite being wronged, he showed mercy and kindness to the person who had done him harm. He did not seek revenge or act out of anger but instead chose to forgive and show compassion. This teaches us that even in difficult situations we should strive to be kind and forgiving towards others. We should not let our emotions get the best of us but instead take a step back and think before we act so that we can make decisions based on wisdom rather than anger or hurt feelings. It also shows us that it is possible to forgive those who have wronged us without compromising our values or principles.
