The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to the mosque making a gesture with his hand like this. Abu Abdul-Rahman pointed his hand toward the ground, indicating the gesture. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever grants more time to one in difficulty or forgives the debt for him, Allah will protect him from the scorching heat of Hell.Indeed, the deeds that lead to Paradise are like a steep climb up a hill," he repeated this three times, "and indeed, the deeds that lead to Hellfire are like an easy descent on level ground. The truly fortunate one is he who is preserved from trials.There is no swallowed draught more beloved to me than a draught of anger that a servant suppresses. No servant suppresses it for the sake of Allah except that Allah fills his heart with faith."
حدثنا عبد الله بن يزيد حدثنا نوح بن جعونة السلمي خراساني عن مقاتل بن حيان عن عطاء
خرج رسول الله ﷺ إلى المسجد وهو يقول بيده هكذا فأومأ أبو عبد الرحمن بيده إلى الأرض من أنظر معسرا أو وضع له وقاه الله من فيح جهنم ألا إن عمل الجنة حزن بربوة ثلاثا ألا إن عمل النار سهل بسهوة والسعيد من وقي الفتن وما من جرعة أحب إلي من جرعة غيظ يكظمها عبد ما كظمها عبد لله إلا ملأ الله جوفه إيمانا

Its chain is daif. Nuh bin Jaawna Sulami: he was covered in al-Tajil, pages 425-426, where it says, "Hejazi," and that Ibn Hibban mentioned him in al-Thiqat... In al-Mizan 3:243, "Ahmad said, I hope he is one whose hadith is acceptable, though he brought a munkar report," then it pointed to this hadith from Musnad Shihab, transmitted through Ibn Abu Maysara from Abdullah bin Yazid Muqri, then said, "So the defect lies with Nuh." This allowance from Dhahabi is far-fetched, for Nuh bin Jaawna was Khurasani, as is stated explicitly here in the Musnad, not Hejazi as in al-Tajil, while Nuh bin Abu Maryam was Marwazi. Whichever one he was, he is daif.Muqatil bin Hayan Nabati Balkhi is trustworthy. He was deemed trustworthy by Ibn Main, Abu Dawud, and others, and he was a devout and virtuous ascetic. Abu Fath Azdi transmitted, saying, "Ahmad bin Hanbal paid no attention to either Muqatil bin Sulayman or Muqatil bin Hayan," then he transmitted from Waki that he called him a liar. Hafiz responded to this in al-Tahdhib 10:278-279, saying, "I read in Dhahabi's handwriting, I think Abu Fath confused him with Ibn Sulayman, for it is he whom Waki called a liar. Muqatil bin Sulayman is daif beyond doubt. Bukhari said in al-Kabir 4/2/14, 'Nothing at all.' As for Muqatil bin Hayan, he covered him in 4/2/13 and mentioned no criticism of him, and Muslim included him in his Sahih."Regarding "bi-shahwatin" (with desire), this is how it appears in both original manuscripts with the dotted shin. But in al-Nihaya 2:197 it appears with the undotted sin (sahwa), where it says, "al-sahwa means soft, easy soil. Disobedience is likened, in its ease upon the one who commits it, to soft ground that does not distress those who traverse it." What is stated there is correct.The first part of the hadith appears in Majma al-Zawaid 4:133-134, where it says, "Ahmad narrated it, and among its narrators is Abdullah bin Jaawna Sulami, whom I have not found anyone to have covered, though the rest of its narrators are the narrators of al-Sahih." This is how it appears in the printed edition of al-Zawaid, but in al-Tajil 218 it reads, "Abdullah Abu Jaawna Sulami, from Muqatil bin Hayan, from Ataa, from Ibn Abbas, regarding the one who grants respite to a debtor in difficulty, and from him narrated Abu Abdul-Rahman Muqri Abdullah bin Yazid." This is how our teacher Haythami noted it as a correction, but what actually occurs in the Musnad is, "Abdullah bin Yazid narrated to us. Nuh bin Jaawna narrated to us," with this same chain of transmission.
