VIRTUE OF EASEMENT H 1401 "A man to whom Allah had given wealth was brought before Him and He asked, 'How did you conduct yourself in the world?' He answered - and they will not conceal any news from Allah - 'O my Lord, You gave me wealth from Yourself and with it I conducted business with people; it was my habit to be forbearing. I was easy with the one who was in easy circumstances and granted respite to the one who was in straitened circumstances.' Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, said, 'I am more worthy of these qualities than you are.' And He commanded, 'Be forbearing with this worshiper of Mine.'" R 1401 Muslim with a chain up to Huzaifah who related this. Uqbah the son of Amr and Abu Mas'ud Ansari also said that they heard the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, say this.
1372- وعن حذيفة رضي الله عنه قَالَ : أُتَي اللهُ تَعَالَى بِعَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ آتَاهُ اللهُ مَالاً ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : مَاذَا عَمِلْتَ في الدُّنْيَا ؟ قَالَ : "وَلاَ يَكْتُمُونَ اللهَ حَدِيثاً" قَالَ : يَا رَبِّ آتَيْتَنِي مَالَكَ ، فَكُنْتُ أُبَايعُ النَّاسَ ، وَكَانَ مِنْ خُلُقِي الجَوَازُ ، فَكُنْتُ أَتَيَسَّرُ عَلَى المُوسِرِ، وَأُنْظِرُ المُعْسِرَ . فَقَالَ الله تَعَالَى : "أنَا أَحَقُّ بِذا مِنْكَ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ عَبْدِي" فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ بن عامِر ، وأبو مسعودٍ الأنصاريُّ رضي الله عنهما : هكَذا سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ فيِّ رسولِ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم . رواه مسلم .
