Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There was a man who had never performed any good deed, except that when he dealt with people in business transactions, he would say to his agent: Take from whoever is able to pay, and leave whoever is in difficulty, and forgive them; perhaps Allah Almighty will forgive us as well. So when he died, Allah Almighty said to him: Did you ever do any good deed? He replied: No, except that I did one thing: I used to do business transactions with people, and when I sent my servant to collect payment, I would say to him: Take from whoever is able to pay, and leave whoever is in difficulty, and forgive them; perhaps because of this Allah Almighty will forgive us. Allah Almighty said: Indeed, I have forgiven you.
