This hadith about forgiveness in Surah Al-Fath describes what happened while the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was returning from Al-Hudaibiyyah. An ayah was revealed: “That Allah may forgive you your sins of the past and the future.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that this ayah was dearer to him than whatever was on the earth. When he recited it to the Companions, they congratulated him and asked what would happen to them. Then another ayah was revealed, giving glad news that believing men and believing women would be admitted into gardens beneath which rivers flow, ending with “a supreme success.” The hadith keeps the focus on revelation, Allah’s forgiveness to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, and hope given to believers.
