Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ دَيْنٌ وَكَانَ يَأْتِيهِ يَتَقَاضَاهُ فَيَخْتَبِئُ مِنْهُ فَجَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَخَرَجَ صَبِيٌّ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ فِي الْبَيْتِ يَأْك
ُلُ خَزِيرَةً فَنَادَاهُ يَا فُلَانُ اخْرُجْ فَقَدْ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّكَ هَاهُنَا فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا يُغَيِّبُكَ عَنِّي قَالَ إِنِّي مُعْسِرٌ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي قَالَ آللَّهِ إِنَّكَ مُعْسِرٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَبَكَى أَبُو قَتَادَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ غَرِيمِهِ أَوْ مَحَا عَنْهُ كَانَ فِي ظِلِّ الْعَرْشِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he had a debt owed to him by a man who would hide from him when he came to collect it. One day Abu Qatadah followed the man and found him. The man said he was insolvent. Abu Qatadah wept and then said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Whoever gives relief to his debtor or forgives him, Allah will shade him on the Day when there is no shade but His shade.'
