The Prophet ﷺ said, "There was a man who used to lend money to people. Whenever he saw that a debtor was in financial difficulty, he would tell his servant, 'Let him off, perhaps Allah will let us off.' So when he met Allah, He let him off."
أخبرنا هشام بن عمار قال حدثنا يحيى قال حدثنا الزبيدي عن الزهري عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله أنه سمع
إن النبي ﷺ قال كان رجل يداين الناس وكان إذا رأى إعسار المعسر قال لفتاه تجاوز عنه لعل الله تعالى يتجاوز عنا فلقي الله فتجاوز عنه
