Sunan Ibn Majah 529 (Book 1, Hadith 263) #29881
Forgiveness of Mistakes

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a Bedouin who entered the mosque and asked Allah to forgive him and Muhammad, but not anyone else. The Prophet smiled and said that he was placing restrictions on something vast. When the Bedouin realized his mistake, he apologized for urinating in the mosque and was forgiven by the Prophet.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A Bedouin entered the mosque when the Messenger of Allah was sitting there, and (the man) said: 'O Allah, forgive me and Muhammed, and do not forgive anyone else with us'. The Messenger of Allah smiled and said: 'You have placed restrictions on something that is vast'. Then the Bedouin turned away, went to a corner of the mosque, spread his legs and began to urinate. After he had a better understanding, the Bedouin said: 'He got up and came to me, and may my father and mother be ransomed for him, he did not rebuke me nor revile me. He said: "This mosque is not for urinating in. Rather it is built for the remembrance of Allah and prayer'." Then he called for a large vessel of water and poured it over the place where he had urinated".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ دَخَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِمُحَمَّدٍ وَلاَ تَغْفِرْ لأَحَدٍ مَعَنَا ‏.‏ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَقَدِ احْتَظَرْتَ وَاسِعًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ وَلَّى حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَشَجَ يَبُولُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَقِهَ فَقَامَ إِلَىَّ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي ‏.‏ فَلَمْ يُؤَنِّبْ وَلَمْ يَسُبَّ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ لاَ يُبَالُ فِيهِ وَإِنَّمَا بُنِيَ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَلِلصَّلاَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِسَجْلٍ مِنَ مَاءٍ فَأُفْرِغَ عَلَى بَوْلِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights an important lesson about forgiveness. It tells us that even when we make mistakes, Allah is willing to forgive us if we are sincere in our repentance. The Prophet Muhammad also showed mercy towards those who made mistakes by not rebuking or reviling them but instead teaching them what they did wrong so they could learn from it. This teaches us that even when someone makes a mistake, we should be patient with them and help guide them back onto the right path rather than punishing or scolding them for their error. We should also remember that Allah's mercy is vast and He will forgive all those who sincerely repent for their sins no matter how big or small they may be.
