This report has also been narrated from the words of Yazid bin Maysara, but its chain of transmission is not without weakness in some of its narrators. Nevertheless, the report indicates that the oppressed person might be an oppressor from another perspective, and it highlights the virtue of pardoning and forgiving wrongdoers, and that forgiveness is hoped to be a cause for Allah's forgiveness and mercy, for "recompense is of the same nature as the deed."
