471 The extremely gentle nature of Muhammad endeared him to all, and it is reckoned as one of the Mercies of Allah. One
of the Prophet's titles is "A Mercy to all Creation." At no time was this gentleness, this mercy, this long-suffering with
human weaknesses, more valuable than after a disaster like that at Uhud. It is a quality, which then, as always, bound
and binds the souls of countless men to him. (3.159)
15:85 - We created not the heavens the earth and all between them but for just ends. And the Hour
is surely coming (when this will be manifest). So overlook (any human faults) with gracious
forgiveness. 20052006
2005 Allah's Creation is all for a true, just, and righteous purpose. Cf. x. 5. It is not for mere whim or sport. xxi. 16. (15.85)
2006 The Hour will not be long delayed when the true Design and Pattern of Life will be manifest. We must not be
impatient, if there appear to be, to our limited vision, apparent injustices. We must bear and forbear, and as far as our
own personal feelings are concerned, we must overlook other people's faults with "a gracious forgiveness". (15.85)
64:14 - O ye who believe! truly among your wives and your children are (some that are) enemies to
yourselves: so beware of them! But if ye forgive and overlook and cover up (their faults) verily
Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 54945495
5494 In some cases the demands of families, i.e., wife and children may conflict with a man's moral and spiritual
convictions and duties. In such cases he must guard against the abandonment of his convictions, duties, and ideals to
their requests or desires. But he must not treat them harshly. He must make reasonable provision for them, and if they
persist in opposing his clear duties and convictions, he must forgive them and not expose them to shame or ridicule,
while at the same time holding on to his clear duty. Such cases occurred when godly men undertook exile from their
native city of Makkah to follow the Faith in Madinah. In some cases their families murmured, but all came right in the
end. (64.14)
5495 For the different words for "forgiveness", see n. 110 to ii. 109. (64.14)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 2.49 Narrated by
Ibn Abbas
Once the Prophet ascended the pulpit and it was the last gathering in which he took part. He was covering his shoulder with a
big cloak and binding his head with an oily bandage. He glorified and praised Allah and said, "O people! Come to me." So the
people came and gathered around him and he then said, "Amma ba'du. From now onward the Ansar will decrease and other
people will increase. So anybody who becomes a ruler of the followers of Muhammad and has the power to harm or benefit
people then he should accept the good from the benevolent amongst them (Ansar) and overlook the faults of their wrongdoers."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 5056
Abdullah ibn Umar
Narrated by
The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) never failed to utter these supplications in the evening and in the morning: O Allah,
I ask Thee for security in this world and in the Hereafter: O Allah! I ask Thee for forgiveness and security in my religion and
my worldly affairs, in my family and my property; O Allah! conceal my fault or faults (according to Uthman's version), and
keep me safe from the things which I fear; O Allah! guard me in front of me and behind me, on my right hand and on my left,
and from above me: and I seek in Thy greatness from receiving unexpected harm from below me." AbuDawud said: Waki'
said: That is to say, swallowing by the earth.

PACE:
2:199 - Then pass on at a quick pace from the place whence it is usual for the multitude so to do
and ask for Allah's forgiveness. For Allah is Oft Forgiving Most Merciful. 222
222 See the last note. Towards the end of the Pilgrimage the crowd is very great, and if any people loitered after Arafat, it
would cause great confusion and inconvenience. The pace has therefore to be quick for every one, a very salutary
regulation. Every member of the crowd must think of the comfort and convenience of the whole mass. (2.199)
31:19 - And be moderate in thy pace and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt
is the braying of the ass." 3604
3604 The "Golden Mean" is the pivot of the philosophy of Luqman as it is of the philosophy of Aristotle and indeed of Islam.
And it flows naturally from a true understanding of our relation to Allah and His universe and to our fellow-creatures,
especially man. In all things be moderate. Do not go the pace, and do not be stationary or slow. Do not be talkative
and do not be silent. Do not be loud and do not be timid or half-hearted. Do not be too confident, and do not be cowed
down. If you have patience, it is to give you constancy and determination, that you may bravely carry on the struggle
