1006 صحيح حديث حُذَيْفَةَ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : تَلَقَّتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ رُوحَ رَجُلٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، قَالُوا أَعَمِلْتَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: كُنْتُ آمُرُ فِتْيَانِي أَنْ يُنْظِرُوا وَيَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنِ الْمُوسِرِ، قَالَ: قَالَ فَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ
Hazrat Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The angels came to the soul of a man from the previous nations (at the time of his death) and asked, "Have you done any good deeds?" The soul replied, "I used to tell my servants to give respite to wealthy people (who were in debt to them) and not to be harsh with them, and to forgive the needy." The narrator stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then the angels also overlooked him and did not treat him harshly.
Hadith 1007
1007 صحيح حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: كَانَ تَاجِرٌ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ، فَإِذَا رَأَى مُعْسِرًا قَالَ لِفِتْيانِهِ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ عَنَّا، فَتَجَاوَزَ اللهُ عَنْهُ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There was a merchant who used to lend money to people. When he saw someone in difficulty, he would tell his servants to overlook (the debt) from him. Perhaps Allah will also overlook (our faults) from us in the Hereafter. So Allah Almighty forgave him (after his death).
