Question

Is this a Hadith of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)?

اللئيم لا يوفّق للعفو من ضيق صدره

 

Answer

I have not come across this as a Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Imam Bayhaqi (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration as the statement of Abul Husayn Al Warraq, Muhammad ibn Sa’d (rahimahullah), a senior Scholar from Nishapur (Naysabur) who passed away before 320 A.H.

(Shu’abul Iman: 7999. Refer: Tabaqatus Sufiyyah, pg. 299)

Translation

Only a wicked person is not given the ability to forgive [others] due to narrowness/tightness of his chest.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

 أخبرنا أبو عبد الرحمن السلمي، قال: سمعت أبا بكر محمد بن أحمد بن إبراهيم، يقول: سمعت أبا الحسين الوراق، يقول: «الكرم في العفو أن لا تذكر خيانة صاحبك بعد أن عفوت عنه»، قال: وسمعته يقول: «اللئيم لا يوفق للعفو من ضيق صدره».

طبقات الصوفية للسلمي:

سمعت أبا بكر محمد بن أحمد بن إبراهيم يقول سمعت أبا الحسين الوراق يقول الكرم في العفو ألا تذكر جناية صاحبك بعد أن عفوت عنه، قال وسمعته يقول اللئيم لا يوفق للعفو من ضيق صدره.
