Hadith 5795

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ فَكَانَ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ فَيَقُولُ لِرَسُولِهِ خُذْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ وَاتْرُكْ مَا عَسُرَ وَتَجَاوَزْ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا فَلَمَّا هَلَكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ هَلْ عَمِلْتَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِي غُلَامٌ وَكُنْتُ أُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ فَإِذَا بَعَثْتُهُ يَتَقَاضَى قُلْتُ لَهُ خُذْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ وَاتْرُكْ مَا عَسُرَ وَتَجَاوَزْ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَجَاوَزْتُ عَنْكَ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There was a man who had never done any good deed, however, he used to have business dealings with people. He had instructed his agent that whoever is able to pay easily, take the payment from him, and whoever is in difficulty, let it go; perhaps Allah Almighty will also forgive us. When he died, Allah Almighty asked him: Have you ever done any good deed? He said: No, but there is one thing—I used to deal with people, and when I sent my agent to collect debts, I had instructed him that whoever is able to pay easily, take it from him, and whoever is in difficulty, let it go; perhaps Allah Almighty will forgive us. Allah Almighty said: I have also forgiven you.
