I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Once a man died and was asked, 'What did you use to say (or do) (in your life time)?' He replied, 'I was a businessman and used to give time to the rich to repay his debt and (used to) deduct part of the debt of the poor.' So he was forgiven (his sins.)" Abu Masʿud said, "I heard the same (Hadith) from the Prophet."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ فَقِيلَ لَهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ فَأَتَجَوَّزُ عَنِ الْمُوسِرِ وَأُخَفِّفُ عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ فَغُفِرَ لَهُ قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
