There was a poor taxi driver in Damascus that mistakenly ran over a student studying medicine which unfortunately led to his death. Shaykh Muḥammad 'Aywād and other scholars went to the boy's father who was a judge, and they asked him to forgive the poor taxi driver for killing
his son, and they offered him blood money as a recompense. The father amazingly replied, 'By Allāh, I have forgiven him and I do not want a penny from him. Tomorrow, I shall go to the prison and take him out my self.' Then the father said, 'Shaykh 'Aywād, you came to my House and

Years later, this father became paralysed and ill so his family took him for a final visit to the harām of Makkah. They held him up in a wooden stretcher and made Tawāf. Whilst he was being carried,

He did not finish his du'ā except he was granted shifā' in his body. He did not complete Tawāf except walking with complete cure! Everyone who saw him on that day broke down in tears.
Forgive those who have wronged you, Allāh Subḥānahu wa Ta'āla will show you miracles!
