[Machine] Allah brought forth one of His servants whom He bestowed with wealth, and He asked him, "What have you done in the world?" The servant replied, "I did nothing, O Lord, except that You have provided me with wealth, so I used to engage in business transactions with people. It is part of my nature to be easy on those in debt and to show patience towards those in hardship." Allah, the Almighty, said, "I deserve that more than you. Forgive my servant." Ubay bin 'Amir al-Juhani and Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari reported that they heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his family.
أَتَى اللَّهُ بِعَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَقَالَ لَهُ مَاذَا عَمِلْتَ فِي الدُّنْيَا؟ قَالَ {وَلَا يَكْتُمُونَ اللَّهَ حَدِيثًا} [النساء 42] قَالَ مَا عَمِلْتُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَا رَبِّ إِلَّا أَنَّكَ آتَيْتَنِي مَالًا فَكُنْتُ أُبَايعُ النَّاسَ وَكَانَ مِنْ خُلُقِي أَنْ أُيَسِّرَ عَلَى الْمُوسِرِ وَأُنْظِرَ الْمُعْسِرَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكَ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ عَبْدِي فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ هَكَذَا سَمِعْنَا مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
