Sunan Abi Dawud 4536 (Book 41, Hadith 43) #24827
Forgiveness in the Face of Adversity

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who was struck by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) with a bough and he forgave him.

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: When the Messenger of Allah was distributing something, a man came towards him and bent down on him. The Messenger of Allah struck him with a bough and his face was wounded. The Messenger of Allah said to him: Come and take retaliation. He said: no, I have forgiven, Messenger of Allah!.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ - عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ مُسَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَقْسِمُ قَسْمًا أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَطَعَنَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِعُرْجُونٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ فَجُرِحَ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ تَعَالَ فَاسْتَقِدْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ بَلْ عَفَوْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
