“Leave for you are freed”

The slave of al-Mansour bin Mahran approached him with a hot drink and (unintentionally) spilt it on him. When he felt its heat, he gazed at her. So she said “O teacher of good, remember the words of Allah”.

He replied: “And what are they?”

She said: “{Those who….repress anger}” 3:134

He said: “I have controlled it”

She said: “And remember {Those who…pardon men}” 3:134

He said: I pardon you.

She said:”And remember {verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the gooddoers).}” 3:134

He said: “Leave for you are freed”.
