FORGIVENESS H 37 "A prophet had been beaten and injured so severely by his people that he had to wipe away the blood from his face. As he did this he supplicated saying: 'Allah, forgive my people, because they do not know (understand).'" R 37 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abdullah son of Mas'ud who related that he remembered it, exactly as if he was looking at the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him.
36- وعن أبي عبد الرحمانِ عبدِ الله بنِ مسعودٍ رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : كَأَنِّي أنْظُرُ إِلَى رسولِ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يَحْكِي نَبِيّاً مِنَ الأَنْبِياءِ ، صَلَواتُ الله وَسَلامُهُ عَلَيْهمْ ، ضَرَبه قَوْمُهُ فَأدْمَوهُ ، وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ، يَقُولُ : "اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَومي ، فَإِنَّهُمْ لا يَعْلَمونَ" مُتَّفَقٌ علَيهِ .
