Hadith on Hiqd: Allah leaves people of grudges to their malice

Abu Tha’labah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “On the middle night of Sha’ban, Allah looks down upon His creation and He forgives the believers, gives respite to the unbelievers, and He abandons the people of malice to their malice until they give it up.

Grade: Sahih li ghayrihi (authentic due to external evidence) according to Al-Albani

Imam Ibn Hibban commented, “Malice is the root of evil. Whoever harbors evil in his heart will have a bitter plant grow, the taste of which is anger and the fruit of which is regret.”

عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ اطَّلَعَ اللهُ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ فَيَغْفِرُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ وَيُمْلِي لِلْكَافِرِينَ وَيَدَعُ أَهْلَ الْحِقْدِ بِحِقْدِهِمْ حَتَّى يَدَعُوهُ
