Narrated Umar (): “Whoever does not show mercy will receive no mercy. Whoever does not forgive will not be forgiven. Whoever does not pardon will not be pardoned or protected.”

[Bukhari, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, #371]

عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ‏:‏ مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ، وَلاَ يُغْفَرُ مَنْ لاَ يَغْفِرُ، وَلاَ يُعْفَ عَمَّنْ لَمْ يَعْفُ، وَلاَ يُوقَّ مَنْ لا يَتَوَقَّ
