Zaid b. Arqam reported: We set out on a journey along with Allah's Messenger ﷺ in which we faced many hardships'.Abdullah b. Ubayy said to his friends: Do not give what you have in your possession to those who are with Allah's Messenger ﷺ until they desert him. Zubair said: That is the reciting of that person who recited as min haulahu (from around him) and the other reciting is man haulahia (who are around him). And in this case when we would return to Medina the honourable would drive out the meaner therefrom (LXIV. 8). I came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and informed him about that and he sent someone to 'Abdullah b. Ubayy and he asked him whether he had said that or not. He took an oath to the fact that he had not done that and told that it was Zaid who had stated a lie to Allah's Messenger ﷺ. Zaid said: I was much perturbed because of this until this verse was revealed attesting my truth:" When the hypocrites come" (LXIII. 1). Allah's Apostle ﷺ then called them in order to seek forgiveness for them, but they turned away their heads as if they were hooks of wood fixed in the wall (LXIII. 4), and they were in fact apparently good-looking persons.
This hadith teaches us an important lesson about forgiveness; even when people wrong us or our loved ones we should still forgive them as much as possible because it is only through forgiveness that we can truly heal from any hurt or pain caused by others' actions towards us or our loved ones. It also shows us how powerful faith can be; despite facing many hardships on their journey together with Allah's Messenger, his companions still remained loyal and faithful towards him throughout it all - something which ultimately led to a beautiful outcome of forgiveness being granted even without repentance from those who wronged them firstly being sought out firstly .
