Sahih Muslim 2495 (Book 44, Hadith 234) #13485
Mercy for Participation in Battles

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger ﷺ showed mercy to Hatib, a former slave, for his participation in the Battle of Badr and the expedition of Hudaibiya.

Jabir reported that a slave of Hatib came to Allah's Messenger complaining against Hatib and said: Hatib will definitely go to Hell. (But) Allah's Messenger said: You tell a lie; he would not get into that for he had taken part in Badr and in (the expedition of) Hudaibiya.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدًا، لِحَاطِبٍ جَاءَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَشْكُو حَاطِبًا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيَدْخُلَنَّ حَاطِبٌ النَّارَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ كَذَبْتَ لاَ يَدْخُلُهَا فَإِنَّهُ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَالْحُدَيْبِيَةَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Show mercy towards others
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the mercy that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) showed to Hatib, a former slave. Hatib was accused by his own slave of being destined for Hell but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said that he would not go there because he had taken part in two important battles - Badr and Hudaibiya. This shows us that even though we may have done wrong things in our lives, if we do something good then it can be taken into account and help us out. We should also remember to show mercy to others as this is an important part of our faith.
