Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: In earlier times, the Angel of Death came to a man to seize his soul and asked him, "Have you ever done any good deed?" He replied, "I do not know." The angel said, "Think about it." He said, "I do not know of any good deed except that I used to do business with people, and I would give respite to the one in difficulty and overlook (their shortcomings)." Allah Almighty forgave him. Hazrat Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) also affirmed this.
