"إِنَّ رَجُلًا لمِ يعملْ خيرًا قَطُّ، وكان يداينُ الناسَ فيقولُ لرسوله: خُذْ ما تَيَسَّر واتركَ مَا عَسُرَ، وَتَجَاوزْ، لَعَل اللَّهَ أنْ يتجاوَزَ عَنَّا، فلما هلك قال اللَّهُ: هلْ عَملتَ خيرًا قطُّ؟ قال: لَا، إِلَّا أنَّهُ كان لى غلامٌ، وكنتُ أُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ، فَإِذا بَعَثْتُه يَتَقَاضى، قُلتُ له: خُذْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ، واترك ما عَسُر، وتجاوزْ لعلَّ اللَّه (أَن) يتجاوزَ عنَّا، قال اللَّه، قد تجاوزتُ عنك".

"There was a man who never did any good deed, but he used to lend to people and he would say to this messenger: "Take what can be paid easily and leave what is difficult, let them off, and perhaps Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said to him: 'Did you ever do any good did? He said: No, but I had a slave and I used to lend to people. When I sent him to collect the debts I said to him: Take what can he paid easily and leave what is difficult; let them off, and perhaps Allah will let us off. Allah, the Most High, said: 'I have let you off."'
