عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «كان رجلٌ يُدَايِنُ الناسَ، فكان يقول لفتاه: إذا أتيتَ مُعسِرًا فتجاوز عنه، لعل اللهَ يَتجاوزُ عنا، فلقي اللهَ فتجاوز عنه».

“Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There was a man who used to give loans to people. He would say to his servant: ‘When you come to an insolvent person, overlook his debt; perhaps Allah would overlook our sins.’ So, the man met Allah (after death), and He overlooked his sins."”
