اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْيَسَرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ: "مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا، أَوْ وَضَعَ عَنْهُ، أَظَلَّهُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ" . قَالَ: فَبَزَقَ فِي صَحِيفَتِهِ، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَهِيَ لَكَ لِغَرِيمِهِ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مُعْسِرًا.
Sayyiduna Abu al-Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever grants respite to a needy (debtor)" or he said: "Whoever forgives the debt of a needy person, Allah Almighty will grant him shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His shade."
The narrator said: Sayyiduna Abu al-Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) had the document brought in which the debt was written, and he erased it and said to his debtor: "Go, I have forgiven it," and he informed that he himself had once been needy and in hardship.
