[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On the Day of Resurrection, a person will call upon Allah using his debt as a means. He will stand before Allah, and it will be said to him, 'O son of Adam, how did you acquire this debt and how did you neglect the rights of people?' He will reply, 'O Lord, You know that I took it but did not eat, drink, wear, or waste it. Rather, it came into my possession due to either a fire, theft, or loss.' Allah will say, 'My servant has spoken the truth. I am more entitled to settle for you today.' He will then call upon Allah with something that He will place in the scale of his deeds, and his good deeds will outweigh his bad deeds. As a result, he will enter Paradise by the grace of His mercy."  

أحمد:١٧٠٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ قَاضِي الْمِصْرَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَدْعُو اللهُ بِصَاحِبِ الدَّيْنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُوقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيُقَالُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فِيمَ أَخَذْتَ هَذَا الدَّيْنَ وَفِيمَ ضَيَّعْتَ حُقُوقَ النَّاسِ؟ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَخَذْتُهُ فَلَمْ آكُلْ وَلَمْ أشْرَبْ وَلَمْ أَلْبَسْ وَلَمْ أُضَيِّعْ وَلَكِنْ أتَى عَلَى يَدَيَّ إِمَّا حَرَقٌ وَإِمَّا سَرَقٌ وَإِمَّا وَضِيعَةٌ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ صَدَقَ عَبْدِي أَنَا أَحَقُّ مَنْ قَضَى عَنْكَ الْيَوْمَ فَيَدْعُو اللهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَيَضَعُهُ فِي كِفَّةِ مِيزَانِهِ فَتَرْجَحُ حَسَنَاتُهُ عَلَى سَيِّئَاتِهِ فَيَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ

"يَدْعُو اللَّه بِصَاحِبِ الدِّيْنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُوقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ فِيمَ أَخَذْتَ هَذَا الدَّيْنَ؟ وَفِيمَ ضَيَّعْتَ حُقُوقَ النَّاسِ؟ فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ: إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّى أَخَذْتُهُ فَلَمْ آكُلْ وَلَمْ أَشْرَبْ وَلَمْ أَلْبَسْ وَلَمْ أُضيِّعْ، وَلَكِنْ أَتى عَلَى يَدى إِمَّا حَرْقٌ وَإمَّا سَرَق، وَإمَّا وَضيعَة، فَيَقُولُ اللَّه: صَدَقَ عَبْدِى وَأنَا أَحَقُّ مَنْ قَضَى عَنْكَ الْيَوْمَ، فَيَدْعُو اللَّه ﷻ بِشَىْءٍ فَيَضَعُهُ فِى كِفَّةِ مِيزَانِهِ فَتَرْجُحُ حَسَنَاتُهُ عَلَى سَيِّئاتِهِ، فَيَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ".
