THE HOLY PROPHET'S ﷺ SUNNAH IN TAKING REVENGE
The non-Muslims of Mecca did not let go of any opportunity to harm or hurt the Holy Prophet ﷺ and the Holy Companions (Sahaba). On many occasions they tried to kill him and had even announced the bounty of a hundred camels for the person who would bring in the Holy Prophet ﷺ. At the time of Ghazva Uhud they showered arrows on the Holy Prophet ﷺ and even injured his face. His teeth got broken. But even at that time Rasool Allah ﷺ prayed:
"O Allah!. Please give guidance to my people. They do not know."
These people were very cruel and there was no doubt about their cruelty. But still Rasool Allah ﷺ did not harbour grudge or resentment towards them. So this is a great Sunnah of Rasool Allah ﷺ that we should not reply to a bad deed with a bad deed, and should rather pray for that person. And this is the best cure for Bughz (بغض, resentment) and Hassad (حسد, jealousy).
