Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man from those before you was brought to account, and no good deed was found for him except that he used to mix with people, and he would say to his servants: Overlook the one in hardship. So Allah, the Lord of Might, said to His angels: We are more entitled to that; you too overlook him."
