What helps you to forgive this woman is to remember the encouragement of Islamic law to forgive those who do wrong and its promise of great reward, and that the woman has apologized, and it is not the character of the noble to reject an apology, and that in forgiveness there is good for you and for her, and that it increases you in honor, and it is a way to attain Allah's forgiveness and pardon.
