Forgiveness in the Face of Retaliation

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) hit a man with a stick and then pardoned him when he asked for retaliation.

It was narrated that Abu Aa'eed Al-Khudri daid: "While the Messenger of Allah was distributing something, a man came and leaned over him, and the Messenger of Allah hit him with a stick that he had with him. The man went tout, and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Come and ask for retaliation'.He said: 'No. I ask for retaliation'. He said: 'No, I pardon you, O Messenger of Allah"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَيَانٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ بْنِ مُسَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَقْسِمُ شَيْئًا أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَطَعَنَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِعُرْجُونٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ تَعَالَ فَاسْتَقِدْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ بَلْ قَدْ عَفَوْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
