بَابُ فَضْلٍ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا أَوْ وَضَعَ لَهُChapter: The virtue of one who grants respite to a debtor in difficulty or waives it for him
Hadith 6049
اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا فَأَوْمَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا أَوْ وَضَعَ لَهُ وَقَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ أَلَا إِنَّ عَمَلَ الْجَنَّةِ حَزْنٌ بِرَبْوَةٍ ثَلَاثًا أَلَا إِنَّ عَمَلَ النَّارِ سَهْلٌ بِسَهْوَةٍ وَالسَّعِيدُ مَنْ وُقِيَ الْفِتَنَ وَمَا مِنْ جُرْعَةٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ جُرْعَةِ غَيْظٍ يَكْظِمُهَا عَبْدٌ مَا كَظَمَهَا عَبْدٌ إِلَّا مَلَأَ اللَّهُ جَوْفَهُ إِيمَانًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out towards the mosque and he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards the ground with his blessed hand. Abu Abdur Rahman also made a similar gesture. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever grants respite to a destitute person or forgives him, Allah Almighty will protect him from the steam of Hell. Beware! The deeds of the people of Paradise are as difficult as ploughing on high, hard ground (this phrase was repeated three times), and the deeds of the people of Hell, due to following desires, are like ploughing on soft ground. And fortunate is the one who is saved from tribulations. The most beloved gulp to me is that which a servant swallows while restraining his anger. When a servant (controls his anger and) swallows such a gulp, Allah Almighty fills his belly with faith.
