A person met his Lord (after death) and He said: What (good) did you do? He said: I did no good except this that I was a rich man, and I demanded from the people (the repayment of debt that I advanced to them). I, however, accepted that which the solvent gave and remitted (the debt) of the insolvent, whereupon He (the Lord) said: You should ignore (the faults) of My servant. Abu Mas'ud (Allah be pleased with him) said: This is what I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying.  

حُذَيْفَةُ رَجُلٌ لَقِيَ رَبَّهُ فَقَالَ مَا عَمِلْتَ قَالَ مَا عَمِلْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ إِلاَّ أَنِّي كُنْتُ رَجُلاً ذَا مَالٍ فَكُنْتُ أُطَالِبُ بِهِ النَّاسَ فَكُنْتُ أَقْبَلُ الْمَيْسُورَ وَأَتَجَاوَزُ عَنِ الْمَعْسُورِ فَقَالَ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ عَبْدِي قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ  

A servant from amongst the servants of Allah was brought to Him whom Allah had endowed with riches. He (Allah) said to him: What (did you do) in the world? (They cannot conceal anything from Allah) He (the person) said: O my Lord, You endowed me with Your riches. I used to enter into transactions with people. It was my nature to be lenient to (my debtors). I showed leniency to the solvent and gave respite to the insolvent, whereupon Allah said: I have more right than you to do this to connive at My servant. 'Uqba b. 'Amir al-Juhani and Abu Mas'ud said: This is what we heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ.  

أُتِيَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَقَالَ لَهُ مَاذَا عَمِلْتَ فِي الدُّنْيَا قَالَ وَلاَ يَكْتُمُونَ اللَّهَ حَدِيثًا قَالَ يَا رَبِّ آتَيْتَنِي مَالَكَ فَكُنْتُ أُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ وَكَانَ مِنْ خُلُقِي الْجَوَازُ فَكُنْتُ أَتَيَسَّرُ عَلَى الْمُوسِرِ وَأُنْظِرُ الْمُعْسِرَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِذَا مِنْكَ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ عَبْدِي فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ هَكَذَا سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[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
