Hadith 6055

عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ دَيْنٌ وَكَانَ يَأْتِيهِ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَيَخْتَبِئُ مِنْهُ فَجَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَخَرَجَ صَبِيٌّ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ فِي الْبَيْتِ يَأْكُلُ خَزِيرَةً فَنَادَاهُ يَا فُلَانُ اخْرُجْ فَقَدْ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّكَ هَاهُنَا فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا يُغِيبُكَ عَنِّي قَالَ إِنِّي مُعْسِرٌ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي قَالَ آللَّهِ إِنَّكَ مُعْسِرٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَبَكَى أَبُو قَتَادَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ غَرِيمِهِ أَوْ مَحَا عَنْهُ كَانَ فِي ظِلِّ الْعَرْشِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
Muhammad bin Ka'b Qurazi says: Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had lent money to a man. That man used to come to him to demand repayment, but the debtor would hide upon seeing him. One day, as usual, he came to demand his debt, and the man's son came out of the house. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him about his debtor, where he was. The boy said: Yes, he is at home and eating khazirah. Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) called out: O so-and-so! Come outside, I know that you are at home. So he came out. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: What is the reason that you hide from me? He replied: The fact is that I am in hardship, I do not have the means to repay the debt. Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and then said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever gives respite to a debtor or forgives his debt, he will stand under the shade of Allah's Throne on the Day of Resurrection.
