It is narrated from Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever dies while free of three things, namely kanz (hoarding treasure), treachery and debt, will enter Paradise." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The soul of the believer remains suspended because of his debt until it is paid off on his behalf." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it because of the narration of al-Thawri in which he mentioned Umar bin Abi Salamah; however, Ibrahim bin Sa'd, owing to his memorisation and precision, knows the hadith of his father better than others.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The soul of the believer remains suspended because of his debt until it is paid off on his behalf."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Iblis has despaired of idols being worshipped in the land of the Arabs, but he will be content with less than that from you, namely those deeds of yours which you consider trivial, though they are destructive. So beware of wrongdoing and violating the rights of others as much as you can, for a servant will come on the Day of Resurrection with so many good deeds that he will think they will save him. But one servant after another will stand up and say: 'O my Lord, so-and-so wronged me in such-and-such a way,' and it will be said: 'Erase from his good deeds,' until not a single good deed remains with him." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever's intercession stands in the way of one of the prescribed punishments (hudud) of Allah has opposed Allah in His command. Whoever dies owing a debt, then there (in the Hereafter) there will be no dinar or dirham, but only good deeds and bad deeds. Whoever disputes in a false matter knowingly remains under the displeasure of Allah until he desists. And whoever says about a believer something that is not in him will be confined in Radghat al-Khabal (the pool of the pus of the people of Hell) until he brings proof of what he said." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man had never done any good deed. He used to lend to people, and he would say to his agent: 'Take what is easy, leave what is difficult, and be lenient, so that Allah may be lenient with us.' When he died, Allah asked him: 'Have you ever done any good deed?' He said: 'No, except that I used to lend to people, and when sending my servant to collect, I would tell him: Take what comes easily and leave what is difficult.' Then Allah Almighty said: 'I have pardoned you.'" This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Ubadah bin al-Walid bin Ubadah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: My father and I went out seeking knowledge among this clan of the Ansar before they passed away. The first person we met was Sayyiduna Abu al-Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him), the Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). With him was a servant of his; he was wearing a cloak and a Ma'afiri garment, and his servant too was wearing a cloak and a Ma'afiri garment, and he had a bundle of written sheets with him. My father said to him: "I seem to see signs of anger on your face." He said: "Yes. So-and-so son of so-and-so, of Banu Haram, owed me some money. I went to his family and asked: 'Is he here?' They said: 'No.' Then a son of his came out, and I asked him: 'Where is your father?' He said: 'He heard your voice and went into my mother's canopied couch.' So I said: 'Come out, for I know where you are.' So he came out to me, and I said to him: 'What made you hide from me?' He said: 'By Allah, I will speak to you and not lie to you. By Allah, I feared that if I spoke to you I would lie to you, or if I made you a promise I would break it, while you are a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And by Allah, I was in hardship.' I said: 'By Allah?' He said: 'By Allah.' I said again: 'By Allah?' He said: 'By Allah.' Then he spread out the sheet and erased the debt, and said: 'If you find the means to pay, then pay; otherwise you are released from it.' I bear witness that these two eyes of mine saw" (and he placed his two fingers on his eyes) "and these two ears of mine heard" (and he placed his fingers in his ears) "and my heart retained" (and he pointed to the vein of his heart) "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'Whoever grants respite to someone in hardship or remits (his debt), Allah will shade him in His shade.'" This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it. It has likewise been narrated in abridged form by Zayd bin Aslam, Rib'i bin Hirash and Hanzalah bin Qays, all of them from Abu al-Yasar.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever grants respite to someone in hardship will have, for each day before the debt falls due, the reward of charity; and when the debt falls due and he grants him respite after that, he will have, for each day, the reward of giving the like of it (that amount) in charity." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud al-Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was brought to account and no good deed was found for him. He was wealthy and used to lend to people, and he would say to his servants: "Whoever you find well-off, collect from him, and whoever you find in hardship, be lenient with him, so that Allah may be lenient with me." So Allah Almighty said: "I am more entitled to be lenient with him." This chain is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man was brought to account and no good deed was found for him," and then he narrated something similar in meaning to the previous hadith.
