adab:371

'Umar was heard to say, "Anyone who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy. Anyone who does not forgive will not be forgiven. Anyone who does not pardon will not be pardoned or protected."  

الأدب المفرد:٣٧١حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَبِيصَةَ بْنَ جَابِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ وَلاَ يُغْفَرُ مَنْ لاَ يَغْفِرُ وَلاَ يُعْفَ عَمَّنْ لَمْ يَعْفُ وَلاَ يُوقَّ مَنْ لا يَتَوَقَّ
