A person from people who lived before you was called to account (by Allah at the Day of Judgment) and no good was found in his account except this that lie being a rich man had (financial) dealings with people and had commanded his servants to show leniency to the straitened ones. Upon this Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, said: We have more right to this, so overlook (his faults).  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَىْءٌ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَكَانَ مُوسِرًا فَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ غِلْمَانَهُ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ  

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A man among those before you was called to reckon and nothing good was found with him. Except that he was a wealthy man so he used to mix with the pople and he would tell his servant to be lenient with the insolvent. So Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He, said: 'We are more worthy of that than him, so be lenient with him.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْءٌ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلاً مُوسِرًا وَكَانَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ غِلْمَانَهُ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا مُوسِرًا فَكَانَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ فَيَقُولُ لِغُلَامِهِ تَجَاوَزْ عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , a man was accounted for his deeds, before you, who had nothing good except for the fact that he would associate with people and he was lenient. He would command his servant to overlook the mistakes of those who were in debt to him. Allah said, "So We are more entitled than him [to penalize the debtors], but you [O man] should overlook [their mistakes]." Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah mentioned this in his narration, saying, "So We are more entitled than him [to penalize the debtors], but we should overlook [their mistakes]."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَكَانَ مُوسِرًا كَانَ يَأْمُرُ غُلَامَهُ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ عَلَى الْمُعْسِرِ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ مِنْهُ فَيَتَجَاوَزُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ مِنْهُ أَنْ نُجَاوِزَ عَنْهُ فَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْهُ  

"حُوسِبَ رَجَلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَلمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ من الخَيْرِ شَئٌ، إلا أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا مُوسِرًا، وكَانَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ، وَكَانَ يَأْمرُ غِلمَانَهُ أَنْ يَتَجَاوزُوا عَنِ المُعْسِرِ، فقالَ اللَّه لملائكتهِ: نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بذلك مِنْهُ، تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ".
