15. Charity
١٥۔ كتاب الصدقات
Whoever is easy with (a debtor) who is in difficulty, Allah will be easy with him in this world and in the Hereafter.”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ يَسَّرَ عَلَى مُعْسِرٍ يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ
“Whoever gives respite to one in difficulty, he will have (the reward of) an act of charity for each day. Whoever gives him respite after payment becomes due, will have (the reward of) an act of charity equal to (the amount of the loan) for each day.”
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَمَنْ أَنْظَرَهُ بَعْدَ حِلِّهِ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُهُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَدَقَةٌ
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever would like Allah to shade him with His shade, let him give respite to one in difficulty, or waive repayment of the loan.”
عَنْ أَبِي الْيَسَرِ صَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُظِلَّهُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ فَلْيُنْظِرْ مُعْسِرًا أَوْ لِيَضَعْ لَهُ
“A man died and it was said to him: 'What did you do?' Either he remembered or was reminded and said: 'I used to be easy going in coins and cash collecting debts due, and I used to give respite to (the debtor) who was in difficulty. So, Allah (SWT) forgave him.' ” Abu Masud said: “I heard that from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.”
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مَاتَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا عَمِلْتَ فَإِمَّا ذَكَرَ أَوْ ذُكِّرَ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَتَجَوَّزُ فِي السِّكَّةِ وَالنَّقْدِ وَأُنْظِرُ الْمُعْسِرَ فَغَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ قَالَ أَبُو مُسْعُودٍ أَنَا قَدْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
