1307. Abū Mas'ūd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "A man among those before you was called to reckon and nothing of good was found with him. Except that he was a wealthy man so he used to mix with the people and he would tell his servants to be lenient with the insolvent. So Allāh, Mighty and Sublime is He, said: 'We are more worthy of that than him, so be lenient with him.'" (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. [Abū Al-Yasar is Ka'b bin 'Amr.]
١٣٠٧ - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْءٌ» إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا مُوسِرًا، وَكَانَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ، وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ غِلْمَانَهُ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ، فَقَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُ، تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو الْيَسَرِ كَعْبُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو.
