Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 23601 — Giving respite to one in hardship
٢٣٦٠١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن عيينة عن عمرو قال: سمعت (عبيد بن عمير) (١) قال: كان رجل يداين الناس ويبايعهم، وكان له كاتب ⦗٢٨٢⦘ و (متجازٍ) (٢) فيأتيه المعسر والمستنظر فيقول (له) (٣): كل وانظر وتجاوز اليوم، يتجاوز عنا، قال: فلقي اللَّه ولم يعمل خيرا غيره فغفر له.
It is narrated from Ubayd bin Umayr (may Allah have mercy on him) that there was a man who used to lend to people and trade with them, and he had a scribe and a debt collector. When a person in hardship or one asking for more time came to him, he would say to his scribe: "Measure it out and give him some respite as well. Overlook today, and in return Allah will overlook our faults." That man met Allah having done no good deed other than this. So Allah Almighty forgave him.
