Abu Ishaq heard Abu ʿAbd Allah al-Jadali (ra) saying, “I asked ʿAʾisha (ra) about the character of the Messenger of Allah (saw). She said, ‘He was neither obscene, nor uttering obscenities, nor screaming in the markets. He would not return an evil with an evil, but rather he would pardon and forgive.” (al-Tirmidhi, al-Birr, 69)
ʿAʾisha (ra) reported, “Allah’s Messenger (saw) never took revenge for his own self in any matter presented to him till Allah’s limits were exceeded, in which case he would take revenge for Allah’s sake.” (al-Bukhari, al-Hudud, 42)
ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar (ra) reported, “A man came to the Prophet (saw) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! How many times should the servant be pardoned?’ The Prophet (saw) was silent. Then he again said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! How many times should the servant be pardoned?’ He said, ‘Seventy times each day.’” (al-Tirmidhi, al-Birr, 31; Abu Daʾud, al-Adab, 123-124)
Anas b. Malik (ra) reported, “the Messenger of Allah (saw) said to me, ‘O my son! If you are capable of (waking up in) the morning and (ending) the evening, while there is nothing of deception in your heart for anything, then do so.’ Then he said to me, ‘O my son! That is from my Sunna. Whoever revives my Sunna then he has loved me. And whoever loved me, he shall be with me in Paradise.’” (al-Tirmidhi, al-ʿIlm, 16)
According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “…Allah will always increase the honor of his forgiving servant.” (Muslim, al-Birr, 69)
