Jami at-Tirmidhi 2419 (Book 37, Hadith 5) #28054
The Value of Seeking Pardon

SUMMARY: Seeking pardon from someone you have wronged is better than having to pay them back with money or rewards.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "May Allah have mercy upon a servant who has wronged his brother in his honor or his wealth, then he comes to him to seek his pardon before (his right) is taken, when he has no Dinar nor Dirham. Then if he has any rewards, it will be taken from his rewards, and if he have no rewards, Then some of his (brothers) bad deeds will be levied upon him". Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Sahih Gharib as a narration of Sa'eed Al-Maqburi. Malik bin Anas also reported it from Sa'eed A-Maqburi, from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet SAW, and it is similar in meaning.
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، وَنَصْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا كَانَتْ لأَخِيهِ عِنْدَهُ مَظْلَمَةٌ فِي عِرْضٍ أَوْ مَالٍ فَجَاءَهُ فَاسْتَحَلَّهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ وَلَيْسَ ثَمَّ دِينَارٌ وَلاَ دِرْهَمٌ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٌ أُخِذَ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٌ حَمَّلُوا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ نَحْوَهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Seek forgiveness from those you may have wronged
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of seeking pardon from someone you have wronged. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said that if a person has wronged another in terms of their honor or wealth and they come to seek their pardon before any payment is made, then Allah will show mercy upon them. Even if they do not have any money or rewards to give as compensation for what they did, some of their bad deeds will be taken away instead. This hadith teaches us the value and importance of seeking forgiveness from those we may have hurt in some way. It shows us that it is better to apologize and make amends than it is to try and pay off our debt with money or rewards because Allah's mercy can be far more powerful than anything else we could offer.
