If he has self-restrain and he controls his anger...

If he has self-restrain and he controls his anger, his anger will become a pure morsel which he can eat. As for the tub, it is a righteous deed. Whenever a servant conceals it, God Almighty will reveal it as an ornament for him in the hereafter. As for the bird, it is a man who gives you an advice. Accept it. As for the hawk, it is a needy man who comes to you. Do not disappoint him! As for the stinking corpse, it is backbiting.

Escape from it.”[^6] The Messenger of Allah (SAW) has been reported by Sa’eed ibn Jubair as saying: “On the day of judgment, a man is brought before the divine justice; he is given the Record of Deeds. When he does not see his good deeds, he shall say: ‘My Lord! This is not the record of my deeds. I do not see my acts of obedience.’ It shall be said to him: ‘Your Lord neither errs, nor does He forget anything.

Your deeds are gone by backbiting.’ Then another man is brought; he is given his record of deeds. Many acts of obedience shall be seen. He shall say: ‘O Lord, this is not the record of my deeds! It shall be said to him: ‘So-and-so person had backbitten you. His good deeds were written for you.’ Sheikh Baha’ee has related: “One day, my name was mentioned in an assembly.

A man, who claimed to be my friend, backbit me and attributed something indecent to me, not knowing that God has said: “Does one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother?” Finding that the news had reached me, he wrote a long letter, regretting his act. I wrote to him: ‘May God reward you for having sent a gift for me. Your gift will make my good deeds weighty on the Day of Judgment.

The Messenger of Allah has said: ‘On the Day of Judgment when a God’s servant is brought for reckoning, his good deeds are put on one pan of the scales and his wrong deeds are put on the other pan of the scales. The pan of sins becomes heavier. At this time, a record is put on his good deeds. His good deeds become more than his sins. He shall say: ‘My Lord! What I had of good deeds was in the pan of good deeds.

What is this record then?’ God will say: ‘This is due to what they have said about you, but you were free from it.’ This traditions makes me thank you. Even if you would do something worse than this, I would not retaliate, but forgive you. The remaining years of my life are too precious than to be spent on revenge.
