صَلُّوۡ اعَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                   صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Backbiting is such an evil from which very few Muslims would be safe. We should try to protect ourselves and others from backbiting and other sins and reduce the burden of sins of sinful people. A way of reducing the burden of others is to forgive Muslims your rights as far as possible. Persuading us to do it, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would abundantly say: Does anyone amongst you get sick of the thing that he be like Abu Damdam? They humbly asked, ‘Who is Abu Damdam?’ He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘In the previous Ummah, there was a person who used to say like this in the morning: ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Today I forgive my rights upon the person who oppresses me.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 6, pp. 261, Hadees 8082)

Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه has stated on page 32 of his booklet ‘Cure for Anger’: On the Day of Judgement, it will be announced, ‘The one whose reward is at the mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ should stand up and enter Paradise.’ It will be asked, ‘For whom is this reward?’ The announcer will reply, ‘This is for those who forgive.’ Then, thousands of people will stand up and enter Paradise without any accountability.’

(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat lit-Tabarani, vol. 1, pp. 542, Hadees 1998)

It is stated in an another blessed Hadees: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will prevent the trouble of Hell and its smoke from the one who had patience with the trouble caused by people and there is a door of Hell ‘Baab-ut-Tashaffi’; only the one who does not control his anger will enter it and the one who suppressed his anger and gave up his right for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, when he will cross the Siraat Bridge, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will close that door for him and will transfer the virtuous deeds of the inflictor to his [oppressed’s] Book of deeds and his [oppressed’s] sins to the [inflictor’s] Book of deeds and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is the best judge.
