[Machine] If you come to us, ask about your efforts in the covenant, for if I make a mistake in forgiveness, it is more beloved to me than making a mistake in punishment that is permanent and suspended.  

البيهقي:١٧٠٦١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَطَّانُ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَوْ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ

إِذَا حَضَرْتُمُونَا فَاسْأَلُوا فِي الْعَهْدِ جَهْدَكُمْ فَإِنِّي إِنْ أُخْطِئْ فِي الْعَفْوِ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُخْطِئَ فِي الْعُقُوبَةِ مُنْقَطِعٌ وَمَوْقُوفٌ
