[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for forgiveness and mercy for his nation on the evening of Arafa. He prayed abundantly and Allah (glory be to Him) answered him saying, "I have forgiven your nation except for those who wronged one another." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "O Lord, indeed You are capable of forgiving the oppressor and giving the oppressed a better reward than what they have suffered." There was no one present at that time except for one man who smiled. The next morning, the Prophet ﷺ called for prayer at Muzdalifah and he started praying again for his nation. The Prophet ﷺ soon smiled and some of his Companions said, "O Messenger of Allah, by my father and mother, you smiled in an hour that you never smiled before. So what made you smile?" He replied, "I smiled because I saw the enemy of Allah, Iblis, when he realized that Allah has answered my supplication and forgiven the wrongdoers in my nation. He became filled with despair and started to call for destruction and hellfire upon himself, and he rubbed dirt on his head. So I smiled at what he was doing out of his despair."
