Granting forgiveness to one who seeks it
1993 9 September 18 Granting forgiveness to one who seeks it (59) The Prophet Mohammad is recorded by Abu Hurayrah as having said, if one’s Muslim brother comes to ask forgiveness for something, he should be excused, whether or not he speaks the truth. One who does not do so will not reach me, to be given water by me at the pond of plenty on the Day of Judgement.”
(At-Hakim)
Justice for the weak and strong alike
1993 9 September 18 Justice for the weak and strong alike (58) Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan once asked Dharar Sadai to tell him about Ali Dharar said, amongst other things, that “he lived among us like anyone of us. No one, however strong he might be, hoped to receive any aid from him in his unjust cause, while the weak had no reason to despair of receiving justice from him.”
