A wheelchair-bound survivor of the New Zealand mosque massacre, whose wife was among 50 worshipers killed in the shooting, says he has “forgiven” the gunman, according to a new report.

In a stunning display of empathy, Farid Ahmed, whose wife, Husna Ahmed, was gunned down at the Al Noor mosque Friday, said he would give accused racist killer Brenton Tarrant “a hug” if he could, the New Zealand Herald reports.

“I was asked, ‘How do you feel about the person who killed your wife?’ and I said, ‘I love that person because he is a human, a brother of mine,'” Ahmed, who was left paralyzed six years ago by a drunk driver, said Friday.

“I do not support what he did. He got it wrong. But maybe he was hurt, maybe something happened to him in his life … but the bottom line is, he is a brother of mine.”

He added, “I have forgiven him and I am sure if my wife was alive, she would have done the same thing.”

Ahmed recalled the bloodbath inside the mosque as he tried to wheel himself to safety amid the gunfire.

“I took the chance and I came out slowly and I was expecting that any moment I would be shot in my head from the back,” he said.

But he managed to reach the parking lot and sheltered behind his parked car.

Once the shots stopped, Ahmed and another worshiper made the dangerous decision to go back inside — unaware that Husna, who was desperately trying to reach her disabled husband, was already dead.

“As we went in, I saw dead bodies. It was clear they were trying to come out and they were shot from behind and fell on their faces,” Ahmed told the newspaper. “We went into the main room and the bullet shells were everywhere.”

He recognized many of the injured, who were bleeding profusely and on the brink of death.

“I saw a man screaming ‘Please help me’ and I saw he had two dead bodies lying on top of him. He asked me to remove the dead bodies and said, ‘I can’t take it,’” said Ahmed.

He recalled being unable to wheel himself any farther — because of the bodies that were strewn across the floor.

“An Ethiopian man called me and said, ‘Can you help me, I can’t breathe’ … I saw one person breathing in a way that I felt he was going to die soon,” Ahmed said. “There were so many bodies.”

Back at home, Ahmed had to deliver the heartbreaking news of his wife’s death to their 15-year-old daughter, Shifa.

“When she got home, I had to tell her. The worst part was when she said, ‘Are you telling me I don’t have any mother?’” Ahmed said, breaking down into tears. “I said yes … But I’m your mother now … and together we will face this.”

Ahmed immigrated to New Zealand from Bangladesh in 1988. Husna came six years later and the couple married the same day she arrived.

Ahmed remembered his wife as having a “wonderful personality.”

“She was magnetic, very special and a good mum,” he said. “I am so very proud of her … she won the hearts of millions of people and I told my daughter that we should live on this memory, we should be happy for her rather than cry.”
