3:134-142
3:134
Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in
adversity, who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah
loves those who do good;-
3:135
And those who, having done something to be ashamed of, or
wronged their own souls, earnestly bring Allah to mind, and
ask for forgiveness for their sins,- and who can forgive sins
except Allah? – and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly
in (the wrong) they have done.
If under the influence of emotions, a person commits a minor
or a major sin, the remembrance of Allah should forthwith alert
and prompt him to seek His forgiveness as a seeker of real
success and prosperity. There is none other Allah who can
forgive sins. So those who put all their hopes in the
intercession of others with Allah, will be disappointed when
they face chastisement for their misdeeds.

If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath
touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) We give to
men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe,

witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.
