I ASK ALLAH TO MAKE US ALL LIKE THIS

كان الحسن البصري يدعو ذات ليلة

"اللهم اعف عمن ظلمني"، فأكثر في ذلك
فقال له رجل: يا أبا سعيد، لقد سمعتك الليلة تدعو لمن ظلمك! حتى تمنيت أن أكون فيمن ظلمك، فما دعاك إلى ذلك؟
قال قوله تعالى
{ فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُ*هُ عَلَى اللَّه}
[الشورى ٤٠]

Al-Hasan al-Basree, رحمه الله, supplicated one night saying:

"Oh Allaah forgive whomsoever oppressed me", and he increased in that.

So a man said to him:

"Oh Abaa Sa'eed, indeed I heard you supplicating this night for the ones who oppressed you, until I wished to be amongst them. What led you to do this?"

He said:

"His saying, the Most High: "...but whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allaah. [Qur'aan 42:40]
