وَلَمَنْ
صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ
“And whoever is patient and forgives – indeed, that is of the matters
[requiring] determination.” (42:43)
Pardoning and having patience with others is from the characteristics
Allaah تعالى loves.
20 AFFAIRS WHICH HELP
WITH PATIENCE OVER THE HARM OF OTHERS
by Shaykh al-Islam
Ibn Taymiyyah
Translated by
Abdulilah Lahmami (حفظه الله)
1 That
he testifies that Allaah is the One that creates the actions of the servants.
2 That
he testifies to his own sins and that Allaah has decreed they (those that
oppress him) will oppress him due to his sins.
3 That
he testifies the good reward that Allaah has promised for the one that pardons
others and is patient.
4 That
he testifies that if he pardons others & is better than them then he has
been blessed due to having a pure heart towards his brothers.
5 That
he knows that whenever he seeks revenge over anyone for himself then that is due to having a lowly trait in
himself.
6 He
testifies that the reward incurred is based upon one’s actions.
7 That
he knows that if his soul busies itself with seeking revenge & being
recompensed, his time is wasted & his heart will not be tranquil.
8 That
his revenge, its fulfillment and seeking victory is for himself only.
9 If
he is harmed up in what he has done for the sake of Allaah, it is incumbent upon
him to be patient & no one will seek revenge over him.
10 That
he testifies that Allaah is with him if he is patient.
11 That
he testifies that patience is equal to half of faith.
12 That
he testifies that his patience is a ruling from himself over himself and a way
of overpowering and overcoming it.
13 That
he knows that if he is patient then Allaah will certainly give him victory.
14 His
patience over the one that harmed him necessitates his oppressor returning from
his oppression, feeling regret & excusing himself (for what he has done).
15 That
he knows that his revenge and committing
wrong himself maybe a reason for his oppressor to increase in evil and bring
more harm.
16 Whoever
is used to taking revenge and is not patient then he will also fall into oppression.
17 That
this oppression that he faced will be a reason for either his sins being
expiated or his rank raised.
18 His
pardoning and patience is from the greatest army he has over his oppressor.
19 That
if he pardons his oppressor then his oppressor will realise that he is better
than him and that he has succeeded him.
20 That
if he pardons and overlooks, this will be a good deed that will lead to other
good deeds.
