Chapter: Being Kind When Asking For Repayment
Hadith 4698
أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ رَجُلًا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ وَكَانَ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ ، فَيَقُولُ لِرَسُولِهِ : خُذْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ ، وَاتْرُكْ مَا عَسُرَ ، وَتَجَاوَزْ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ عَنَّا فَلَمَّا هَلَكَ . قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ : هَلْ عَمِلْتَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ ؟ , قَالَ : لَا ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِي غُلَامٌ وَكُنْتُ أُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ فَإِذَا بَعَثْتُهُ لِيَتَقَاضَى ، قُلْتُ لَهُ : خُذْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ وَاتْرُكْ مَا عَسُرَ وَتَجَاوَزْ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا . قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : قَدْ تَجَاوَزْتُ عَنْكَ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said:` "There was a man who never did any good deed, but he used to lend to people and he would say to this messenger: "Take what can be paid easily and leave what is difficult, let them off, and perhaps Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said to him: 'Did you ever do any good did? He said: No, but I had a slave and I used to lend to people. When I sent him to collect the debts I said to him: Take what can he paid easily and leave what is difficult; let them off, and perhaps Allah will let us off. Allah, the Most High, said: 'I have let you off."'
