A student ask his shaykh: “How many times should you forgive someone?” …The Shaykh responded: “As many as times as you wish for Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala to forgive you.”
Shaykh Ibrahim Memon.
The Prophet (peace be upon us) said: There was a merchant who used to extend credit to people. If he found one of his customers to be in straightened means, he would say to his assistants: “Forgive them their debt, perhaps Allah will forgive us.” Allah did forgive him. [Sahīh al-Bukhārī (2078) and Sahīh Muslim (1562)]
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “A man used to give loans to the people and he would say to his servant: if the debtor is poor you should forgive him so that perhaps Allah may forgive us; so when he met Allah, Allah forgave him.” [Sahih Bukhari, Book 56, Number 687]
May we meet Allah’s forgiveness. Amin
