Has a Hadith or narration been reported regarding the believer in Paradise seeing a magnificent place and wishing for it, whereupon he is told that it is his if he forgives his believing brother?
Al-Hafiz Al-Busiri narrated a hadith from Anas ibn Malik, on the authority of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in which he described his laughter, peace and blessings be upon him, when he saw two men from his Ummah before Allah Almighty. One of them was seeking justice from his brother for a wrongdoing. When the wrongdoer had no good deeds left, the wronged person asked to be burdened with some of the wrongdoer's sins. At this, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, wept due to the gravity of the situation. Then, Allah commanded the wronged person to look at Paradise. He saw magnificent palaces and asked, "To whom do these belong?" It was said, "These are for one who paid the price." He asked, "And who possesses that?" It was said, "You possess it." He asked, "How, my Lord?" It was said, "By forgiving your brother." So the wronged person said, "My Lord, I have indeed forgiven him." Then Allah Almighty said, "Take your brother by the hand and admit him into Paradise." Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "So fear Allah and reconcile among yourselves, for Allah will reconcile between the believers on the Day of Resurrection." Al-Busiri pointed out that the chain of narration for this hadith is weak. Islamic law has indeed encouraged forgiveness and pardon.
