Sunan Ibn Majah 3718 (Book 33, Hadith 62) #33072
The Importance of Accepting Excuses

SUMMARY: Making excuses to others is important and should be accepted, otherwise it will lead to a burden of sin.

It was narrated from Jawdan that the Messenger of Allah said: "If a man makes an excuse to his bother and he does not accept it, he will bear a burden of sin like that of the tax-collector". A hadith similar to the above has been narrated through a chain differing from the first at the 4th level of narrators.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مِينَاءَ، عَنْ جَوْدَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ مَنِ اعْتَذَرَ إِلَى أَخِيهِ بِمَعْذِرَةٍ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْهَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ خَطِيئَةِ صَاحِبِ مَكْسٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، - هُوَ ابْنُ مِينَاءَ - عَنْ جَوْدَانَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ مِثْلَهُ

This hadith encourages us to forgive each other and accept apologies when they are made in order for us not to bear any burden or sin ourselves. We should also remember that Allah is always forgiving and merciful so we should strive to be like Him by being forgiving towards others as well.
