حديث حُذَيْفَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: تَلَقَّتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ رُوحَ رَجُلٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، قَالُوا أَعَمِلْتَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: كُنْتُ آمُرُ فِتْيَانِي أَنْ يُنْظِرُوا وَيَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنِ الْمُوسِرِ، قَالَ: قَالَ فَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ.
Hudhaifa Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Before your time the angels took the soul of a man and asked him, 'Did you do any good deeds (in your life)?' He replied, 'I used to order my employees to grant time to the rich person to pay his debts at his convenience and excuse the one in hard circumstances.' So Allâh تعالى said to the angels; 'Excuse him.'" ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 291, Vol. 3 )
