Book Name:The Excellence of Forgiving Others
Muslims have learned to seek forgiveness, to pardon others, and to fulfil the rights of people. Those who listen to and watch him have repeatedly seen that he has already pardoned all of his rights and has made humble pleas to others to pardon rights as well. This same style is visible in his writings.
Amir Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ writes on page 112 of his book, Backbiting – A Devastating Sin:
Whosoever abuses me, speaks ill of me (performs backbiting), injures me, or causes me any kind of grief, I have already pardoned them for the sake of Allah. Let no one take revenge on my behalf against those who trouble me. By chance, if someone were to martyr me, my rights are pardoned to him from my side. I also request my heirs to pardon their right to him (and not to file a lawsuit etc.).
If, by the mediation of the intercession of the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, special grace is bestowed in the Plain of Resurrection, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, I will also take my killer—the one who caused my martyrdom—into Paradise with me, provided he passes away with faith. If my martyrdom takes place, let there be no riots or strikes because of it. If a 'strike' means forcibly closing people's businesses or pelting shops and vehicles with stones, then no Mufti of Islam can declare such violations of people's rights as permissible. Such a strike is Haram (prohibited) and an act that leads to Hell. Nothing is gained from such emotional actions except loss in this world and the Hereafter. Usually, strikers tire quickly, and eventually, the administration gains control over them.
