حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: كَانَ تَاجِرٌ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ، فَإِذَا رَأَى مُعْسِرًا قَالَ لِفِتْيانِهِ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ عَنَّا، فَتَجَاوَزَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "There was a merchant who used to lend the people, and whenever his debtor was in straitened circumstances, he would say to his employees, 'Forgive him so that Allâh تعالى may forgive us.' So, Allâh تعالى forgave him." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 292, Vol. 3 )
