حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا
زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا
مَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، عَنْ
رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ: أَنَّ
حُذَيْفَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
"تَلَقَّتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ رُوحَ رَجُلٍ مِمَّنْ قَبْلَكُمْ، فَقَالُوا: أَعَمِلْتَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْئًا ؟، فَقَالَ: لَا، قَالُوا: تَذَكَّرْ . قَالَ: كُنْتُ أُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ فَآمُرُ فِتْيَانِي أَنْ يُنْظِرُوا الْمُعْسِرَ، وَيَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنِ الْمُوسِرِ". قَالَ: "قَالَ اللَّهُ: تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ".
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "An angel came to the soul of a man from the previous nations before you (at the time of his death) and asked: 'Did you do any good deeds?' The soul replied: 'No.' They said: 'Recall.' He said: 'I used to lend money to people and would instruct my servants to give respite to those in difficulty and to be lenient with those who were well-off.'" He (the Prophet) said: "Allah Almighty commanded the angels: 'Treat him with leniency, do not be harsh with him.'"
