Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir said to Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) to narrate a hadith he had heard from the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Among the people before you, an angel came to seize the soul of a man. The angel asked him, "Do you have any good deed?" He replied, "I do not know." The angel said, "Think." He said, "I know nothing except that I used to deal with people in the world, I would give respite to the poor and show leniency and overlook shortcomings with the rich." Allah Almighty admitted him into Paradise.
