Sunan an-Nasai 4774 (Book 45, Hadith 69) #19307
Forgiveness in the Face of Adversity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) hit a man with a stick, but the man chose to forgive him instead of seeking retaliation.

It was narrated the Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "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 head with him. The man shouted, and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Come and ask for retaliation. He said: 'No, I pardon you, O Messenger of Allah"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرِّبَاطِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبِي قَالَ، سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ بْنِ مُسَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَقْسِمُ شَيْئًا إِذْ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَطَعَنَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِعُرْجُونٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ فَصَاحَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ تَعَالَ فَاسْتَقِدْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ بَلْ عَفَوْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of forgiveness and mercy even when faced with adversity. It was narrated by Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that 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 head with him. The man shouted, but instead of retaliating or seeking revenge for being struck by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he said "No, I pardon you O Messenger of Allah". This shows us how important it is to forgive others even if they have wronged us in some way. It also teaches us that we should not seek revenge or retaliate against those who have wronged us as this can lead to further conflict and animosity between people. Instead, we should show mercy and compassion towards them as this will help foster peace and harmony within our communities.
