عن ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم انه قال إن رجلا لم يعمل خيرا قط فكان يداين الناس فيقول لرسوله خذ ما تيسر واترك ما عسر وتجاوز لعل الله يتجاوز عنا فلما هلك قال الله عز وجل له هل عملت خيرا قط قال لا إلا انه كان لي غلام وكنت اداين الناس فإذا بعثته يتقاضى قلت له خذ ما تيسر واترك ما عسر وتجاوز لعل الله عز وجل يتجاوز عنا قال الله عز وجل قد تجاوزت عنك
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There was a man who had never performed any good deed, except that when he dealt with people in business transactions, he would say to his agent: Take from whoever is able to pay, and leave whoever is in difficulty, and forgive them; perhaps Allah Almighty will forgive us as well. So when he died, Allah Almighty said to him: Did you ever do any good deed? He replied: No, except that I did one thing: I used to do business transactions with people, and when I sent my servant to collect payment, I would say to him: Take from whoever is able to pay, and leave whoever is in difficulty, and forgive them; perhaps because of this Allah Almighty will forgive us. Allah Almighty said: Indeed, I have forgiven you.
