وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "كان رجل يداين الناس، وكان يقول لفتاه: إذا أتيت معسرا فتجاوز عنه، لعل الله أن يتجاوز عنا فلقي الله فتجاوز عنه" ((متفق عليه))

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "There was a person who used to loan money to the people and he used to say to his servant: 'When an insolvent person comes to you, show him leniency so that Allah may forbear our faults.' So when he met Allah (i.e., when he died), Allah forgave him."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. (DE)
