Al-Arba’īn an-Nawawīyah Ḥadīth [39]

عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ لِي عَنْ أُمَّتِي الْخَطَأَ وَالنِّسْيَانَ وَمَا اسْتُكْرِهُوا عَلَيْهِ

حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُمَا

39 – It is reported on the authority of ibn ‘Abbās (may Allāh be pleased with them both), that the Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said:

“Verily Allāh has pardoned [or been lenient with] for me my ummah: Their mistakes, their forgetfulness, and that which they have been forced to do under duress.” [A ḥasan ḥadīth reported by ibn Mājah, Bayhaqī and others]
