Sahih al-Bukhari 4643
Sahih al-Bukhari · Book 65: Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh)) · "Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., don't punish them)." (V.7:199)
Narrated `Abdullah bin AzZubair:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، {خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ} قَالَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ فِي أَخْلاَقِ النَّاسِ.
(The Verse) "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right..." was revealed by Allah except in connection with the character of the people.
