Sahih al-Bukhari 6361 (Book 80, Hadith 58) #6112
Using Abuse as an Opportunity for Closeness to Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ asked Allah to use any abuse he may have inflicted on a believer as a means of bringing them closer to Allah on the Day of Resurrection.

Narrated Abu Huraira: that he heard the Prophet saying, "O Allah! If I should ever abuse a believer, please let that be a means of bringing him near to You on the Day of Resurrection".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ فَأَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ سَبَبْتُهُ فَاجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ قُرْبَةً إِلَيْكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how even if we make mistakes, we can still use it as an opportunity for growth and closeness with Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked Allah that if he ever abused a believer, that it would be used as a means of bringing them closer to Him on the Day of Resurrection. This teaches us that no matter what mistakes we make, there is always hope and opportunity for us to grow spiritually and become closer with our Creator. We should strive to learn from our mistakes and ask forgiveness from those whom we have wronged in order to seek repentance from Allah.
