IF HE PARDONS, ALLĀH WILL GIVE HIM HONOUR
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said:
“Allāh does not increase a servant due to [his] pardoning [of others] except in honour.” *
* Related by Muslim (no. 2588).
The honour he acquires due to pardoning [others] is more beloved and beneficial to him than the honour acquired through vengeance, for this is merely [the acquisition] of outward honour while inheriting humiliation inwardly. But pardoning [others] appears as humiliation outwardly whilst it is [in reality] honour both inwardly and outwardly.
