The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Pardoning is incumbent upon you, for verily pardoning [others] only increases the servant s honour, so pardon each other s faults and Allah will grant you honour.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): عَلَيكُم بِالعَفوِ ؛ فَإنَّ العَفوَ لا يَزيدُ العَبدَ إلّا عِزّاً ، فَتَعافَوا يُعِزَّكُمُ اللّهُ.
