Show mercy & compassion towards others , Be patient & understanding in difficult situations , Let go off your anger & forgive those who have wronged you .

This hadith is about how it is better to forgive someone than to seek revenge. It was narrated by Anas bin Malik that a man brought the killer of his relative to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised this man to pardon him but he refused. He then suggested taking blood money as compensation for what happened but again, this was rejected by the aggrieved person. Finally, in an attempt to make him realize how wrong it would be for him to take revenge into his own hands, he said “Go and kill him” - implying that if he did so then he would become just like his relative's murderer himself. However, someone caught up with this person before anything could happen and reminded them of what they were about do - which made them realize their mistake and they let go of their anger towards their relative's murderer instead. AbdurRahman bin AlQasim later commented on this incident saying that no one should ever say “Go and kill him” after hearing what happened here as it goes against Islamic teachings on forgiveness.
