Hadith 5793

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى اللَّهُ بِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ مَاذَا عَمِلْتَ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَا عَمِلْتُ مِنْ مِثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ خَيْرٍ أَرْجُوكَ بِهَا فَقَالَهَا لَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَيْ رَبِّ كُنْتَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي فَضْلًا مِنْ مَالٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَكُنْتُ أُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ وَكَانَ مِنْ خُلُقِي أَتَجَاوَزُ عَنْهُ وَكُنْتُ أُيَسِّرُ عَلَى الْمُوسِرِ وَأُنْظِرُ الْمُعْسِرَ فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ مِنْكَ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ عَبْدِي فَغُفِرَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was presented before Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty asked him: What deed did you perform in the world? He replied: I did not perform any good deed, not even as much as a particle, on which I could pin my hopes. Allah Almighty repeated this question three times. On the third time, he said: O my Lord! You had given me abundant wealth in the world, so I used to engage in business transactions with people. My method was that I would show leniency to the wealthy and grant respite to the destitute. Allah Almighty said: We are more deserving of showing good conduct to you. Angels! Forgive My servant. Thus, he was forgiven. Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say this in the same way.
