[Machine] I and my father went out to seek knowledge in this neighborhood from the Ansar before they perish. So, the first person we met was Abu Al-Yassar, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He had a servant with him, wearing a tattered cloak, and his servant also had a tattered cloak. He also had a pile of scriptures with him. My father said to him, "I see a trace of anger on your face." He replied, "Yes, I had some wealth that belonged to so-and-so, the thief. So, I went to his family and asked them if it was permissible for me to keep it. They said, 'No,' so his son came out. I asked him, 'Where is your father?' He replied, 'He heard what you said and went to hide in my mother's bed.' So, I said, 'Come out, for I know where you are.' He came out to me, and I asked him, 'What made you hide from me?' He replied, 'By Allah, I was telling you the truth and feared that I would lie to you or you would accuse me falsely. You used to be a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so I said, 'By Allah, were you not a person who used to struggle financially?' I said, 'By Allah, I was.' He said, 'By Allah.' I said, 'By Allah.' He said, 'By Allah,' and repeated it. Then, he spread out the scripture and erased the debt, saying, 'If you find a case, judge accordingly, but if not, then you are free.' He then pointed to the corners of his heart and said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whosoever removes a hardship from a believer, Allah will remove a hardship from him in this world and the Hereafter.'"  

خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي نَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ فِي هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَهْلِكُوا فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ لَقِينَا أَبُو الْيَسَرِ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ غُلَامٌ لَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ مَعَافِرِيٌّ وَعَلَى غُلَامِهِ بُرْدٌ مَعَافِرِيٌّ وَمَعَهُ ضُبَارَةُ صُحُفٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي كَأَنِّي أَرَى فِي وَجْهِكَ سَفْعَةً مِنْ غَضِبٍ قَالَ أَجَلْ كَانَ لِي عَلَى فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ الْحَرَامِيِّ مَالٌ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَثَمَّ هُوَ؟ قَالُوا لَا فَخَرَجَ ابْنٌ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَيْنَ أَبُوكَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعَ كَلَامَكَ فَدَخَلَ أَرِيكَةَ أُمِّي فَقُلْتُ اخْرُجْ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنِ اخْتَبَأْتَ مِنِّي قَالَ أَنَا وَاللَّهِ أُحَدِّثُكَ وَلَا أَكْذِبُكَ خَشِيتُ وَاللَّهِ أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكَ فَأَكْذِبَكَ أَوْ أَعِدَكَ فَأُخْلِفَكَ وَكُنْتَ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ آللَّهِ وَكُنْتَ وَاللَّهِ مُعْسِرًا؟ فَقُلْتُ آللَّهِ قَالَ آللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ آللَّهِ قَالَ آللَّهِ قَالَ فَنَشَرَ الصَّحِيفَةَ وَمَحَا الْحَقَّ وَقَالَ إِنْ وَجَدْتَ قَضَاءً فَاقْضِ وَإِلَّا فَأَنْتَ فِي حِلٍّ فَأَشْهَدُ لَبَصُرَتْ عَيْنَايَ هَاتَانِ وَوَضَعَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ وَسَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ هَاتَانِ وَوَضَعَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي فَأَشَارَ إِلَى نِيَاطِ قَلْبِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِرًا وَوَضَعَ لَهُ أَظَلَّهُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ»  

[Machine] I and my father went out to seek knowledge in this neighborhood from the Ansar before they perish. The first person we met was Abu Al-Yasir, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and with him was his son. Abu Al-Yasir was wearing a cloak, as were his guests, and his son was also wearing a cloak. My father said to him, "I see anger on your face." He replied, "Indeed, I had some wealth that belonged to so-and-so, the thief. So I went to his family and asked them, 'Is it accepted?' They said, 'No.' Then his son came out to me, so I asked him, 'Where is your father?' He said, 'He heard your voice and came out. I told him to come out, for I knew where you were.' Then he came out and I asked him, 'What made you hide?' He said, 'I swear by Allah, I wanted to talk to you and not lie to you. I was afraid that if I spoke to you, I would then lie to you and break my promise. And you were the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and by Allah, I was in a difficult situation.' I asked, 'By Allah?' He replied, 'By Allah.' I asked again, 'By Allah?' He replied, 'By Allah.' Then he reached for his scriptures and erased them. He said, 'If you find a just cause, then judge accordingly. Otherwise, you are in a permissible state. I bear witness with my eyes to this oath, and my heart confirms it.' He pointed to the veins on his chest and said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever protects the rights of a debtor in financial difficulty, Allah will protect him in His shade."'

[Machine] My father and I went out seeking knowledge in this neighborhood from the Ansar before they passed away. The first person we met was Abu Al-Yasar, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He had a young boy with him, as well as a bundle of papers. He had a cloak on his shoulder and his face showed signs of anger. My father said to him, "O uncle, I see anger in your face." Abu Al-Yasar replied, "Indeed, I had some money with Fulan ibn Fulan Al-Harami, so I went to his family to greet them. I asked about him, and they said he was not here. Then his young son came out, and I asked him, 'Where is your father?' He said, 'He heard your voice, so he went into my mother's closet.' I said, 'Come out to me, for I know where you are.' He came out, and I asked him, 'What made you hide from me?' He said, 'I swear by Allah, I wanted to talk to you, but I feared that I would lie to you or break my promise to you. And you were the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I was a difficult person.' I said, 'By Allah,' He said, 'By Allah.' I said, 'By Allah.' He said, 'By Allah.' I said, 'By Allah.' He said, 'By Allah.' Then he brought his papers and erased them with his own hand and said, 'If you find any injustice, then judge me. Otherwise, you are in the right.' He placed his fingers on his eyes and said, 'I bear witness with my own sight.' He put his fingers on his ears and said, 'I hear with my own ears.' He touched his heart and said, 'This is my heart.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed to the strings of his heart and said, 'Whoever shows kindness to a difficult person or helps him, Allah will shade him in His shade on the Day of Judgment.'
