A Muslim should not have the attitude of revenge and “getting even”. That
would bring hatred among the Muslims and remove from among them feelings of
love and security. A Muslim should always be ready to forgive, especially
when dealing with his wife and close relatives. Showing forgiveness makes a
person worthy of Allah’s forgiveness. In one of the reports of the hadith by
Jarir Bin ‘Abdillah (RAA), Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said:

“He who does not show mercy, no mercy will be shown to him (by Allah (SWT)).
And he who does not forgive will not be forgiven.” (Recorded by Ahmad and
at-Tabarani (in al-Kabir). Verified to be authentic by al-Albani (Sahih
ul-Jami no. 6599 & 6600).

We have a great example in Allah’s messenger (SAW) who never took personal
revenge for himself. ‘A’ishah (RAA) reported:

“I never saw Allah’s Messenger (SAW) seeking revenge when he was wronged –
except when one of Allah’s prohibitions was overstepped. When any of Allah’s
prohibitions was overstepped, he would be most angry for that. Also,
whenever he was given a choice between to matters, he would choose the
easiest of the two – unless it would involve a sin.” (Recorded by
al-Bukhari, Muslim, and others).*
