Forgiveness

Question

I came to know that if brother 'A' in Islam on this earth did not forgive another brother 'B' in Islam due to any reason maybe brother 'B' has given very hard time to brother 'A', Allah wont forgive brother 'B' unless brother 'A' has to forgive him or its ok with out this Allah will forgive.

Answer

It is not necessary that B will be forgiven by Allah only if he forgives A.
However, B may invoke the forgiveness of Allah by forgiving A.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
