|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.'”
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.
