Another great quality of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was that he (PBUH) never took revenge on anyone for personal reasons and always forgave even his staunch enemies. A'isha(RA) said that God's Messenger (PBUH) never took revenge on his own behalf on anyone. She also said that God's Messenger (PBUH) was not unseemly or obscene in his speech, nor was he (PBUH) loud-voiced in the streets, nor did he (PBUH) return evil for evil, but he (PBUH) would forgive and pardon. The people of the Quraish rebuked him, taunted and mocked at him, beat him and abused him. They tried to kill him and when he escaped to Medinah, they waged many wars against him yet when he (PBUH) entered Makkah victorious with an army of 10,000, he did not take revenge on anyone He forgave all Even his deadliest enemy Abu Sufyan, who fought so many battles, was forgiven, and anyone who stayed in his house was also forgiven.

The leaders of T'aif, who engaged scoundrels to throw stones at him when he (PBUH) visited that town in order to invite them to Islam, were also forgiven Abdullah bin Ubayy, leader of the hypocrites of Medinah, was forgiven Muhammad (PBUH) offered his funeral prayer and prayed to God for his forgiveness The Qur'an mentions this incident in these words: "And never (O Muhammad) pray for one of them who dies, nor stand by his grave Lo! They disbelieve in God and His Messenger (PBUH), and they died while they were evil doers". Abdullah bin Ubayy worked all his life against Muhammad(PBUH) and Islam and left no stone unturned in bringing him into disrepute and in trying to defeat his mission. He withdrew his 300 supporters in the battle of Uhud and almost broke the backbone of the Muslim. He had engaged in intrigues and acts of hostility against the Prophet (PBUH) of Islam and the Muslims. It was he who raised the incident Of if k through his allies to discredit God's Messenger (PBUH) by spreading scandal about his wife, A'isha "Lo! They who spread the slander are a gang among you Deem it not a bad thing for you; nay, it is good for you Unto every man of them will be paid that which he has earned of the sin; and as for him among them who had the greater share therein, his will be an awful doom"[Qur'aan 24:11] "An Abyssinian slave, who killed Hamza, Muhammad's (PBUH) uncle, in the battle of Uhud, and after the victory of Makkah embraced Islam and came to him, was forgiven. The wife of Abu Sufyan had cut the chest of Hamza and torn his liver and heart into pieces in the battle of Uhud She quietly came to the Prophet (PBUH) and accepted Islam. He recognised her but did not say anything. She was so impressed by his magnanimity and stature that she said, "O God's Messenger, no tent was more deserted in my eyes than yours; but today no tent is more lovely in my eyes than yours".
