2077. Narrated Hudhaifa رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Before your time the angels took the soul of a man and asked him, 'Did you do any good deeds (in your life)?' He replied, 'I used to order my employees to grant time to the rich person to pay his debts at his convenience and excuse the one in hard circumstances'. So Allāh said to the angels: 'Excuse him.'" Rabī said that (the dead man said), "I used to be easy to the rich and grant time to the one in hard circumstances." Or, in another narration, "...grant time to the well-off and forgive the one in hard circumstances," or, "...accept from the well-off and forgive the one in hard circumstances."

2077 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، أَنَّ رِبْعِيَّ بْنَ حِرَاشٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " تَلَقَّتِ المَلاَئِكَةُ رُوحَ رَجُلٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، قَالُوا: أَعَمِلْتَ مِنَ الخَيْرِ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ: كُنْتُ آمُرُ فِتْيَانِي أَنْ يُنْظِرُوا وَيَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنِ المُوسِرِ، قَالَ: قَالَ: فَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ "، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: وَقَالَ أَبُو مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ: «كُنْتُ أُيَسِّرُ عَلَى المُوسِرِ، وَأُنْظِرُ المُعْسِرَ»، وَتَابَعَهُ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ المَلِكِ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، وَقَالَ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ: عَنْ عَبْدِ المَلِكِ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ: «أُنْظِرُ المُوسِرَ، وَأَتَجَاوَزُ عَنِ المُعْسِرِ»، وَقَالَ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ: «فَأَقْبَلُ مِنَ المُوسِرِ، وَأَتَجَاوَزُ عَنِ المُعْسِرِ»
