English translation

[3996] 29 - (...) It was narratedthat Hudhaifah said: "One ofAllâh's slaves was brought beforeHim, to whom Allâh had givenwealth. He said to him: 'Whatdid you do in the world?' -although they cannot concealanything from Allâh. He said: 'OLord, You bestowed Your wealthupon me and I used to enter intotransactions with people. It wasmy nature to be lenient, so I usedto go easy on those who werewell off and I would give moretime to those who were indifficulty.' Allâh said: 'I havemore right to that than you; letMy slave go.'" ‘Uqbah bin ‘Âmir Al-Juhanî and Abû Mas’ûd Al-Anshârî said: “This is how we heard it from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.”

29 - (1560) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: " أُتِيَ اللهُ بِعَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَاذَا عَمِلْتَ فِي الدُّنْيَا؟ قَالَ: وَلَا يَكْتُمُونَ اللهَ حَدِيثًا، قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ آتَيْتَنِي مَالَكَ، فَكُنْتُ أُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ، وَكَانَ مِنْ خُلُقِي الْجَوَازُ، فَكُنْتُ أَتَيَسَّرُ عَلَى الْمُوسِرِ، وَأُنْظِرُ الْمُعْسِرَ، فَقَالَ اللهُ: أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِذَا مِنْكَ، تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ عَبْدِي "، فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ، وَأَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، هَكَذَا سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
