It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will call the debtor and make him stand before Him and will ask: 'O servant! Where did you squander the wealth of the people?' He will reply: 'O Lord! You know that I did not waste it without reason, but it was lost by drowning in the sea, by burning, by theft, or by payment of taxes.' Upon hearing this, Allah Almighty will have something brought and placed in his scale of deeds, by which the side of his good deeds will become heavy and tilt down."
