Leave what is hidden in their heart to Allaah

Reference: Madaarij as-Saalikeen – v3 p82

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

Whoever wrongs you and then comes to apologise for their wrongdoing, humility obliges you to accept their apology – whether it is sincere or not – and leave what is hidden [in their heart] to Allaah تعالى.
