Jami at-Tirmidhi 3129 (Book 47, Hadith 181) #28778
Showing Mercy and Patience in Times of Conflict

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's advice to the Ansar to show mercy and patience towards their enemies, even if they have been wronged.

Narrated Ubayy bin Ka'b: "On the Day of Uhud, sixty-four of the Ansar were killed, and six from the Muhajirin, one of whom was Hamzah, and they mutilated them, so the Ansar said: 'If, (in the future) we are able to kill them on a day like this, we would mutilate from among them as twice as they (mutilate from among us)'." He said: "So on the day of the Conquest of Makkah, Allah revealed: And if you punish them, then punish them with the like of that with which you were afflicted. But if you have patience, then it is better for those who are patient (16:126). So a man said: 'There shall be no Quraish after today'. But the Messenger of Allah said: 'Leave the people, except for four'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ أُصِيبَ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَسِتُّونَ رَجُلاً وَمِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ سِتَّةٌ فِيهِمْ حَمْزَةُ فَمَثَّلُوا بِهِمْ فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ لَئِنْ أَصَبْنَا مِنْهُمْ يَوْمًا مِثْلَ هَذَا لَنُرْبِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏(‏ وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُمْ بِهِ وَلَئِنْ صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِلصَّابِرِينَ ‏)‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لاَ قُرَيْشَ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ كُفُّوا عَنِ الْقَوْمِ إِلاَّ أَرْبَعَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of a time when the Ansar were wronged by their enemies on the day of Uhud. In response, they wanted to take revenge and mutilate them as twice as they were mutilated. However, Prophet Muhammad advised them to show mercy and patience instead. He reminded them that Allah has revealed in Surat An-Nahl that if one is wronged then it is better for those who are patient rather than punishing with like of what was inflicted upon them. He also said that people should be left alone except for four people from Quraish tribe. This hadith teaches us an important lesson about showing mercy and patience even when we are wronged or hurt by someone else. It reminds us that Allah rewards those who are patient in times of conflict or hardship instead of taking revenge or punishing others with like what was inflicted upon us.
