Riyad as-Salihin, 602
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Wealth does not diminish by giving Sadaqah (charity). Allah augments the honour of one who forgives; and one who serves another seeking the pleasure of Allah, Allah will exalt him in ranks." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “ما نقصت صدقة من مال، و ما زادالله عبداً بعفو إلا عزاً، وما تواضع أحد لله إلا رفعه الله” ((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) We are urged to pardon; yet, this is conditional upon the achievement of reconciliation. Allah Almighty says: {But whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers.}<br>
2) If a person shows humbleness for the sake of Allah, Allah will raise his rank in this world and in the Hereafter. Recompense for a deed is of the same nature of the deed.
