Hadith 5047
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ ، فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْءٌ إِلا أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلا مُوسِرًا ، فَكَانَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ ، فَيَقُولُ لِغُلامِهِ : تَجَاوَزْ عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلا لِمَلائِكَتِهِ : نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “A man from among the people before you was called to account, and no good deed was found in his favor except that he was a prosperous man who used to have dealings with people. He would say to his servant: ‘Overlook (the debt) of the one who is in difficulty.’ So Allah Almighty said to His angels: ‘We are more deserving of this (quality), so you overlook him.’”
