حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، قَالَ مَنْصُورٌ : حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ : أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ ، فَكَانَ يَقُولُ لِفَتَاهُ : إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مُعْسِرًا ، فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا ، فَلَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْهُ " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There was a person who gave loans to the people and said to his men: When an insolvent comes to you show him leniency that Allah may overlook our (faults). So when he met Allah, He overlooked his faults (forgave him).
