The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man from among the people before you was called to account. He had no good deeds except that he was a wealthy man and used to deal with people, and he had instructed his subordinates to show leniency to those in difficulty and to grant them respite. Allah Almighty said to the angels: I am more deserving of this (quality), so you overlook him. (Leave him alone.)
