Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1987 (hasan)

Follow a bad deed with a good one

اتَّقِ اللَّهَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ، وَأَتْبِعِ السَّيِّئَةَ الْحَسَنَةَ تَمْحُهَا، وَخَالِقِ النَّاسَ بِخُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ

Ittaqi-llaha haythuma kunt, wa atbi'i-s-sayyi'ata-l-hasanata tamhuha, wa khaliqi-n-nasa bi-khuluqin hasan.

Fear Allah wherever you are. Follow a bad deed with a good one and it will erase it. Deal with people in the best of manners.

Narrated by Abu Dharr and Mu'adh ibn Jabal.
