Sahih al-Bukhari 3824 (Book 63, Hadith 49) #3652
Mercy and Forgiveness in Times of Chaos

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the battle of Uhud and how Hudhaifa's father was killed in the chaos. Despite this, Hudhaifa showed mercy and forgiveness to those who killed his father.

Narrated 'Aisha: On the day of the battle of Uhud the pagans were defeated completely. Then Satan shouted loudly, "O Allah's slaves! Beware the ones behind you!" So the front files attacked the back ones. Then Hudhaifa looked and saw his father, and said loudly, "O Allah's slaves! My father! My father!" By Allah, they did not stop till they killed him (ie Hudaifa's father). Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you!" The sub-narrator said, "By Allah, because of what Hudhaifa said, he remained in a good state till he met Allah (ie died).
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ خَلِيلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رضى الله عنها قَالَتْ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ هُزِمَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ هَزِيمَةً بَيِّنَةً، فَصَاحَ إِبْلِيسُ أَىْ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أُخْرَاكُمْ، فَرَجَعَتْ أُولاَهُمْ عَلَى أُخْرَاهُمْ، فَاجْتَلَدَتْ أُخْرَاهُمْ، فَنَظَرَ حُذَيْفَةُ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِأَبِيهِ فَنَادَى أَىْ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ، أَبِي أَبِي‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا احْتَجَزُوا حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ، فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبِي فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَالَتْ فِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْهَا بَقِيَّةُ خَيْرٍ حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ‏.‏

Showing mercy & forgiveness even during chaotic times .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the battle of Uhud, which was a battle between Muslims and pagans. During this battle, Satan shouted loudly to confuse the Muslims so that they would attack each other instead of their enemies. Unfortunately, this caused Hudhaifa's father to be killed by his own people. Despite this tragedy, Hudhaifa showed mercy and forgiveness towards those who killed his father by saying "May Allah forgive you!" This shows us that even in times of chaos we should strive for mercy and forgiveness as it will lead us closer to Allah SWT.
