BENEFIT 95: The difference between 'Afw and Safh
{ وَلۡیَعۡفُوا۟ وَلۡیَصۡفَحُوۤا۟ۗ أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَن یَغۡفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡۚ}
[Surah An-Nûr: 22]
'Afw (العفو) is to pardon and avoid taking revenge, and Safh (الصفح) is to avoid blaming & censuring; thus, 'Safh' is more profound in meaning than 'Afw; because a person may pardon a person and avoid taking revenge, but he continues to recall and blame them for what they did."
