When someone praised a certain Taabi'ee in his presence, he
said, "Did you ever test me?
1. Did you find me to be forbearing at the time of anger,
2. displaying good character during a journey
3. and trustworthy at the time of being trusted?"
When the person replied in the negative, he said, "Then why have you praised me without first testing me? You should never praise anyone until you have tested them on these three accounts."
He then continued to say, "Three qualities are present in the people of Jannah, and these are exclusive to the noble people.
These are:
1. Forgiving an oppressor,
2. giving one who deprives you,
3. and behaving well to someone who behaves ill towards you."
Allah says, "Adopt the habit of forgiveness, enjoin good and ignore the ignorant." When this verse was revealed to Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wa‐sallam), he asked Hadhrat Jibraeel (A.S) for an explanation thereto. Hadhrat Jibraeel (A.S) enquired from Allah, whereafter he informed Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wa‐sallam) saying, "Oh Muhammad (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wa‐sallam)! Allah commands that you join relationships with the relative who severs them, that you give to those who deprive you, and that forgive the one who oppresses you."
