2420. It was narrated from Hudhaifah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "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 concerning collecting debts due, and I used to give respite to (the debtor) who was in difficulty. So, Allāh forgave him.'" Abu Mas'ud said: "I heard that from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2420 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رِبْعِيَّ بْنَ حِرَاشٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، " أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَاتَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَا عَمِلْتَ؟ فَإِمَّا ذَكَرَ أَوْ ذُكِّرَ، قَالَ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَتَجَوَّزُ فِي السِّكَّةِ وَالنَّقْدِ، وَأُنْظِرُ الْمُعْسِرَ، فَغَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ "، قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ: أَنَا قَدْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Commentary

a. Allāh loves those who are easy with the people in recovering loans. b. Easy going in coin means not caring about the petty damages done to the coin and accepting such coins without any hesitation. People used to reject such coins at the time of the Noble Prophet ﷺ, as today people may refuse to accept currency with some damage.
