Anas (Radhiallaho anha) reported:
A young Jewish boy who was in the service of the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) fell ill. The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) went to visit him. He sat down by his head and said to him, "Embrace Islam.'' The little boy looked at his father who was sitting beside him. He said: "Obey Abul-Qasim (i.e., the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)).'' So he embraced Islam and the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) stepped out saying, "Praise be to Allah Who has saved him from Hell-fire.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
Herein, the example of the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) inspires us to visit even a sick disbeliever and invite him to accept Islam. Besides, the Hadith tells that the company of the virtuous does bear fruit and that we should continue to hope that the heart of a disbeliever will turn to Allah at any moment. Furthermore, we come to believe that parents, though not clinging to the right way, may tell their offspring to pursue the truth.

Approach Allah with Nawafil
An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.38
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:
Allah the Almighty has said:
"Whosoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine,I shall be at war with him.
On the authority of Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:
Allah the Almighty has said:
"Whosoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine,I shall be at war with him.
My slave does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have imposed upon him,
and My slave continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him.
When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears,
his seeing with which he sees,
his hand with which he holds,
his hand with which he holds,
and his foot with which he walks.
Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him;
and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it."

Pardoning of Mistakes and Forgetfulness
An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.39
On the authority of Ibn Abbas (Radhiallaho anha) that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:
"Allah has pardoned for me my people for [their] mistakes and [their] forgetfulness and for what they have done under duress."
A Hasan (fair) Hadith related by Ibn Majah, Al-Baihaqi and others.
Commentary:
Being excused for what is done mistakenly or out of forgetfulness does not mean that there will be no consequent rulings. This means that a person might be forgiven but he still has to take responsibility for his actions
