Hadith #425
Arabic Text
قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ لِيَقْبِضَ نَفْسَهُ
فَقَالَ لَهُ هَلْ عَمِلْتَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقَالَ مَا أَعْلَمُ قِيلَ لَهُ انْظُرْ قَالَ مَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ وَأُجَازِفُهُمْ فَأُنْظِرُ الْمُعْسِرَ وَأَتَجَاوَزُ عَنْ الْمُوسِرِ فَأَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْجَنَّةَ
English Translation
It was narrated from Hudhayfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'And I heard him say: "A man from those before you was approached by an angel to take his soul. He was asked: "Have you done any good?" He said: "I do not know." He was told: "Think." He said: "I know of nothing except that I used to trade with people and be lenient with them, giving time to those in difficulty and being easy with those who were well-off." So Allah Almighty admitted him into Paradise."' Uqba ibn Amr said: 'I too heard him say that, and he was a cloth dealer.'
