Let them pardon and forgive

السلام عليكم
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
"And let not those among you who are blessed with graces and wealth swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kinsmen, Al-Masâkîn (the poor), and those who left their homes for Allâh'sCause. Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allâhshould forgive you? And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (22)Verily, those who accuse chaste women, who never even think of anything touching their chastity and are good believers,— are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter, and for them will be a great torment,— (23)

Abu Mundhir! Do you know which Ayah in Allah's Book is the greatest?"
I replied: " It is 'Allah la ilaha illa Huwal-Haiyul-Qayum (Allah! none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Every Living..)'." (2:256)
Thereupon he (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) patted me in the chest and said,
"Rejoice by this knowledge, O Abu Mundhir!"
