أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْدِيُّ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ کَانَ رَجُلٌ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ وَکَانَ إِذَا رَأَی إِعْسَارَ الْمُعْسِرِ قَالَ لِفَتَاهُ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَی يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا فَلَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4710
Abu Hurairah said: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “A man used to lend to people, but if he realized that someone was going through hardship, he would say to his slave: ‘Let him off, perhaps Allah, the Most High, will let us off.’ And when he met Allah, He let him off.” (Sahih)
