Think twice before taking action against someone else; Show compassion and mercy; Offer forgiveness instead of punishment; Consider selling something on credit if possible .

This hadith is about a man who was caught stealing from Safwan bin Umayyah in the masjid. When taken to the Prophet Muhammad, he ordered that his hand be cut off as punishment for theft. However, when Safwan offered to forgive him and sell it on credit instead of taking back his money, the Prophet asked why he did not say this before bringing him there. This hadith teaches us that forgiveness is always better than punishment and that we should think twice before taking any action against someone else. It also shows us how merciful and compassionate our beloved prophet was towards others even in difficult situations like this one.
