“I have forgiven them, except for
the
wrongdoer, with whom I will settle the score in favor of the one
whom
he wronged.” He said: “O Lord, if You will, then grant
Paradise to the
one who is wronged, and forgive the wrongdoer.” No
response came (that
evening).The next day at Muzdalifah he repeated
the supplication, and
received a response to what he asked for. He
(the narrator) said: “The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) laughed,” or
he said, “He smiled. Abu Bakr
and ‘Umar said to him: ‘May my
father and mother be ransomed for you,
this is not a time when you
usually laugh. What made you laugh, may
Allah make your years filled
with laughter?’ He said: ‘The enemy of
Allah, Iblis, when he came
to know that Allah answered my prayer and
forgiven my nation, took
some dust and started to sprinkle it on his
head, uttering cries of
woe and doom, and what I saw of his anguish
made me laugh.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 25, Hadith 132
