Encouragement towards Righteousness (effacing minor sins) #10 FORGIVING DEBTS: Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: كَانَ تَاجِرٌ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ، فَإِذَا رَأَى مُعْسِرًا قَالَ لِفِتْيَانِهِ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ، لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ عَنَّا، فَتَجَاوَزَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ “There was a merchant who used to lend the people, and whenever his debtor was in straitened circumstances, he would say to his employees, ‘forgive him so that Allaah may forgive us.’ So, Allaah forgave him.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (2078)] Narrated Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه: I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: مَاتَ رَجُلٌ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ، فَأَتَجَوَّزُ عَنِ الْمُوسِرِ، وَأُخَفِّفُ عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ، فَغُفِرَ لَهُ “Once a man died and was asked: ‘What did you use to say (or do) (in your life time)?’ He replied: ‘I was a businessman and used to give time to the rich to repay his debt and (used to) deduct part of the debt of the poor.’ So he was forgiven (his sins.)” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (2391)]
