It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): A Jewish woman brought poisoned meat of a goat to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate from that meat. (When the matter became known,) the woman was brought (before him). It was said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): Should we not kill this Jewish woman? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "No." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I always used to see the effect of that poison on the throat (uvula) of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Wahb bin Kaysan says, I heard Abdullah bin Zubair saying from the pulpit: "Adopt the way of forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant." He said: By Allah! Allah has not commanded this (forgiveness) except that it be taken from people's character. (Meaning, when people behave harshly, one should deal with them with forgiveness.) By Allah! I will certainly take this from the people as long as I live among them (that is, whenever people behave rudely, I will forgive them).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Teach and make things easy," he said this three times. "And do not make things difficult, and when any one of you becomes angry, he should remain silent," he said this two times.
