Praise be to Allaah.
The name of Allaah al-Haleem is mentioned in a number of places in the
Qur'aan, for examplethe verses in which Allaah says (interpretation of
the meaning):
"And know that Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing [Haleem]"
[al-Baqarah 2:235]
"Kind words and forgiving of faults are better than Sadaqah (charity)
followed by injury. And Allaah is Rich (Free of all needs) and He is
Most-Forbearing"
[al-Baqarah 2:263]
Ibn Jareer said in his Tafseer (4/144): "This means that He gives
respite and does not hasten to punish the onewho disobeys Him or goes
against His command."
Al-Khattaabi said in Sha'n al-Du'a' (63): "He isforgiving and grants
respite, the One Whose anger does not overwhelm Him and Who is not
provoked by the ignorance of the ignorant or the disobedience of the
disobedient. One who forgives when he is not able to punish does not
deserve to be called Haleem (forbearing); rather the one who is
al-Haleem is the One Who forgives when He isable to punish and Who
gives respite and does not hasten the punishment."
Qiwaam al-Sunnah al-Asbahaani said in al-Hujjah fi Bayaan al-Mahajjah
(1/144): "Forbearing towards theone who disobeys Him, because if He
wanted to punish him at the time of the sin, He could do so, but He
grants him respite until the appointed time. Even though this is a
name that may be applied to a person, the forbearance of a person is
not a quality with which a person is born and which then develops when
he grows older; it may change at times of sickness or anger, or
because of events that happen. His attribute dies when he dies, but
the forbearance of Allaah abides and never disappears. A person may
forgive one thing but not another; he may forgive those against whom
he is powerless toexact revenge, but Allaah forgives even though He is
able to punish."
Ibn al-Qayyim said in al-Nooniyyah (3278):
"He is the Forbearing and does not hasten the punishment for His
slave,(granting him respite) sothat he may repent from his sin."
Al-Sa'di said in his Tafseer (19): "Al-Haleem is the One Who keeps
bestowing blessings, both visible and hidden, on His creation, even
though they disobey Himand make many mistakes. So He forgives and does
not give the sinners the punishment they deserve; He encourages them
to repent and gives them time to turn to Him.".
