wrongs the slave does to his own self, which are between him and

his Lord — in terms of a fast he left off or a prayer he left off, for

Allah will indeed forgive that and pardon (him), Insha Allah (if Allah

wills). As for the record from which Allah will leave nothing out, it

is the wrongs that the slaves do to one another: Al-Qisaas

(repayment of the wrongdoer in likeness to the wrong he did),

with the utmost certainty (that it will occuz).” (Ahmad)

Anas # related the following hadith, which he ascribed to the Prophet #: “There are three transgressions: the transgression that Allah does not forgive, and it is Shirk (associating partners with Allah in worship); the transgression that Allah forgives, and that is the wrong the slaves perpetrate between themselves and between their Lord; and the transgression regarding which Allah leaves nothing out, and that is the transgression that the slaves perpetrate against one another — until some of them are paid back from others.” Al-Baihagee related this narration through two different chains, both of which are weak.

Az-Zubair & said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, will what occurred among us in the world, in terms of particular sins, be repeated upon us? He # said, ‘Yes, they will be repeated upon you, until each person of a right receives his right.’ Az-Zubair 4 said, “By Allah, the matter is then severe indeed.” (Related by Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa) Tn another narration, ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood 4 said, “The nations are on their knees for the taking of the account. At that time, they will attach themselves more to one another than they did in the world - a father with his child, a child with his father, a sister with her sister, a husband with his wife, and a wife with her husband.” ‘Abdullah 2 then recited this Verse:

“There will be no kinship among them that Day, not they will ask of one another")

Jbn Abee Ad-Dunyaa related this narration.

‘Umar 4 reported that the Prophet #g said, “The owner and the owned (slave) will be brought, as well as the husband and the wife. The owner, the owned, the husband, and the wife will then face accountability, until it is said, “You made a proposal to so-and-so, and then I married you to her, and then I left you both.” (Related by Al-Haafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bazzaar)

It Is Mentioned That Allah Will Make Certain Of His Slaves To Be Reconciled To One Another...

About this last narration, Al-Bukhaaree said, “The hadith of Sa’eed ibn Anas from his father about transgressions is not followed upon. Then Al-Baihagee related it from Ziyaad ibn Maimoon Al-Basree from Anas #s; but in that chain too, there is uncertainty.

Perhaps what Bukhaaree related in his sahih attests to it; in that hadith, the Messenger of Allah 2 said, “Whoever takes the wealth

of people, wanting to pay it back, then Allah will pay it back for him. And whoever takes it, wanting to destroy it, Allah will destroy him.”

In a natration related by ‘Abbaas ibn Mirdaas, the Messenger of Allah #4 supplicated on the night of “Arafah for forgiveness and mercy for his nation. He supplicated much, and then Allah answered him, “Indeed I have done so, except for the wrong some of them have done to others from them.” The Prophet ¢ said, “OQ my Lord, Indeed, You are able to establish for the one who was wronged (goodness that is) better than what he was wronged in and to forgive the transgressor.” Allah 3 did not answer him that evening. On the next day at Muzdalifah, the Prophet #¥ repeated the supplication, and then Allah #% answered, “Indeed, I have forgiven them,” and the Messenger of Allah #8 smiled. Some of his Companions said to him, “O Messenger of Allah — may Allah send prayers upon you — you have smiled in an hour that you would not (normally) smile in?” He #% said, “I smiled because of the enemy of Allah, Jblees. When he knew that Allah answered me regarding my nation, he sank down, supplicating for destruction, and pouring dirt onto his head.” Abu Daawood, Ibn Maajah, AlBaihagee related this narration. Al-Baihagee said, “It is possible that this forgiveness will occur after a punishment that will touch them; it is possible that it is specific for certain people; and it is possible that it is general, applying to everyone,”
