The one who oppressed the daughter was forgiven

Sayyiduna Abul ‘Aas Bin Rabi’ رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was the husband of Sayyidatuna Zaynab رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا who was the daughter of Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. After the battle of Badr, Sayyiduna Abul ‘Aas Bin Rabi’ رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ sent Sayyidatuna Zaynab رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا to Madinah. When the Quraysh of Makkah became aware of it, they chased her and found her at the place called ‘ذِیْ طُویٰ’ [Zee-Tuwa]. Habbaar Bin Aswad threw his spear at her, causing her to fall from the camel and having miscarriage. (Seerat Nabawiyyah, pp. 270-271)

Sayyiduna Jubayr Bin Mut’im (جُبَیْر بن مُطْعِم رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) has stated: Having  returned from the place called ‘Ji’irraanah’, we were sitting with the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم when Habbaar Bin Aswad (who had not yet accepted Islam) entered through the door of the Holy Nabi (and sat down). The Blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُم humbly said: O Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Habbaar Bin Aswad (has come). He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: I have seen him. A person stood up to attack him, but the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gestured for him to sit down. Standing up, Habbaar said: O Nabi of Allah! May peace be upon you! I testify that no one is worthy to be worshipped except Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and I testify that Muhammad (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) is the Rasool of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.    O Rasoolallah! I escaped from you and wandered in many cities. I had even intended to live in the countries of the non-Arabs but I thought that you are kind-hearted, treat relatives with kindness and forgive even those who mistreat you. O Nabi of Allah! We were polytheists. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestowed upon us guidance through you, protecting us from doom. I beg you to forgive my misdeed because I admit to have committed the evil and sin you have been informed about.

The Kind and Merciful Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: I have forgiven you.        Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestowed His grace upon you by guiding you towards Islam. Islam removes all the previous sins.

 

سو بار تِرا دیکھ کے عفو اور تَرَحُّم       ہر باغی و سرکش کا سر آخر کو جُھکا ہے

برتاؤ تیرے جبکہ یہ اَعدا سے ہیں اپنے        اَعدا سے غُلاموں کو کچھ اُمّید سِوا ہے

ہم نیک ہیں یا بد ہیں پھر آخر ہیں تمہارے      نسبت بہت اچھی ہے اگر حال بُرا ہے
