There is a difference between someone who forgives because he is weak and can avenge himself and someone who is strong and can infect harm and damage but he forgives instead.

Please explain to me this Hadith (in depth) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “He who is victorious over his passion at the time of anger is the strongest among you. He who forgives having the power to release (his anger and take revenge) is the most patient among you.” (a-Baihaqi in Shu’ab al-Imaan) I don’t understand the part where it says “he who forgives having the power to realease”. And what does “he who is victorious over his passion at time of anger is the most sabr”.
