How sound is the sacred hadith (Hadith Qudsi) that describes the scene of two men before Allah on the Day of Judgment, where one demands recompense from his brother for an injustice, but then relinquishes it after Allah offers him Paradise?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The aforementioned Hadith is very weak due to the presence of weak and unknown narrators in its chain, such as Abbad ibn Shaybah and Sa'id ibn Anas. A number of scholars have pointed out its weakness, including Al-Dhahabi, Al-Mundhiri, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Hajar, and Al-Albani.

This Hadith is superseded by other authentic Ahadith and verses concerning the virtue of forgiveness and reconciling differences.
