The Merits of Forgiveness & Humility

Abu Huraira (radi Allah anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam) as saying: Charity does not in any way decrease the wealth And the servant who forgives, Allah adds to his respect, And the one who shows humility, Allah elevates him in the estimation (of the people). [Sahih Muslim: Book 32 'Kitab Al-Birr was-Salat-I-wa'l-Adab', Number 6264]
