The Importance of Forgiveness

SUMMARY: Seeking forgiveness from those we have wronged is essential for our salvation in the afterlife.

Narrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak: who was one of the companions of the tree (those who swore allegiance to the Prophet beneath the tree at Al-Hudaibiya):
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الشَّجَرَةِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness from those we have wronged before it is too late. In this hadith, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ explains that when we reach the afterlife there will be no money or wealth that can help us secure our salvation; instead it will depend on how much we have sought forgiveness from those who we have hurt during our lifetime. He also explains that if one does not seek forgiveness then their good deeds may be given away to their victims and any bad deed they committed may also be loaded onto them in return. This hadith teaches us that seeking forgiveness is an important part of being a Muslim and should not be neglected as it can lead to dire consequences in the hereafter.
