JUSTICE FOR THE WEAK AND STRONG ALIKE
Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan once asked Dharar
Sadai to tell him about Ali. Dharar said, amongst
other things, that “he lived among us like any of us.
No one, however strong he might be, hoped to
receive any aid from him in his unjust cause, while
the weak had no reason to despair of receiving
justice from him.”
GRANTING FORGIVENESS TO ONE WHO
SEEKS IT
The Prophet Muhammad is recorded by Abu
Hurayrah as having said, if one’s Muslim brother
comes to ask forgiveness for something, he should
be excused, whether or not he speaks the truth. One
who does not do so will not reach me, to be given
water by me at the pond of plenty on the Day of
Judgement.”
