Musnad Ahmad 8387 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ شَاذَانُ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ لِفَتَاهُ : إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مُعْسِرًا ، فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ ، لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا ، فَلَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In earlier times there was a man who used to lend money to people, and he would say to his servant, "When you go to collect a debt from someone in difficulty, show leniency to him; perhaps Allah will show leniency to us." So (after his death) when he met Allah, Allah showed leniency to him (forgave him).
