Asking Forgiveness for Wrongdoing

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that if someone wrongs another person, they should ask for forgiveness before the Day of Judgement. If they have done good deeds, those will be used to offset the wrongdoings, but if not, then the wrongdoings will be held against them.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said, "He who has done a wrong affecting his brother's honour or anything else, let him ask his forgiveness today before the time (ie, the Day of Resurrection) when he will have neither a dinar nor a dirham. If he has done some good deeds, a portion equal to his wrong doings will be subtracted from them; but if he has no good deeds, he will be burdened with the evil deeds of the one he had wronged in the same proportion". Al-Bukhari.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏ من كانت عنده مظلمة لأخيه، من عرضه أو من شيء، فليتحلله منه اليوم قبل أن لا يكون دينار ولا درهم ، إن كان له عمل صالح أخذ منه بقدر مظلمته، وإن لم يكن له حسنات أخذ من سيئات صاحبه فحمل عليه‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Ask for forgiveness when you've done something wrong; Do good deeds throughout your life; Make amends with those who you may have hurt or wronged in some way; Understand the importance of doing good deeds throughout your life so as to offset any bad ones you may commit; Respect other people's honour and belongings at all times .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us about the importance of asking for forgiveness when we have wronged someone else. It is important to do this before the Day of Judgement because on that day we will not have any money or possessions to make up for our wrongdoing. If we have done good deeds in our life then these can help to offset our bad deeds and lessen their impact on us. However, if we haven't done enough good deeds then all of our bad deeds will still be held against us and could lead to a difficult judgement day. Therefore it is important that we try and make amends with those whom we may have hurt or wronged in some way so that when judgement day comes around there are no regrets or worries about what might happen.
