He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ freed his maid who poisoned him several times instead of punishing her.
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless him and forgive us without any accountability for his sake!
اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
A wise man can get more benefit from an enemy bearing pure malice towards him than his friend who connives at his faults. In this regard, Imām Ghazālī عَـلَـیۡـهِ رَحْـمَـةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـوَالِی has written: Listen to your enemies when they talk about your faults because an enemy’s eye reveals each and every fault. So, a wise man gets more benefit by listening to his faults stated by his enemies instead of listening to his friends who always admire him and hide his faults. But the problem is that the human nature considers enemy’s talks against him as a pack of lies based on jealousy. Whereas sensible people learn a lesson from their enemies also and compensate their flaws concluding that there must be some faults being kept in view by his enemy.
