[3997] 30 - (1561) It was narrated that Abû Mas’ûd said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘A man among those who came before you was brought to account, and he was not found to have done anything good, except that he used to mix with people, and he was well off. He would tell his slaves to let those go who were in difficulty. Allâh, may He be exalted, said: We have more right to that than him; let him go.’”
