Hadith #176
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَنْبَأَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ قَاضِي الْمِصْرَيْنِ وَهُوَ
شُرَيْحٌ وَالْمِصْرَانِ الْبَصْرَةُ وَالْكُوفَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَدْعُو بِصَاحِبِ الدَّيْنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقِيمُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ عَبْدِي فِيمَ أَذْهَبْتَ مَالَ النَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُفْسِدْهُ إِنَّمَا ذَهَبَ فِي غَرَقٍ أَوْ حَرَقٍ أَوْ سَرِقَةٍ أَوْ وَضِيعَةٍ فَيَدْعُو اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِشَيْءٍ فَيَضَعُهُ فِي مِيزَانِهِ فَتَرْجَحُ حَسَنَاتُهُ

English Translation
Yazid narrated to us, Sadaqah ibn Musa informed us, from Abu 'Imran al-Jawni, from Qays ibn Zayd, from the Judge of the Two Cities, namely Shurayh (and the two cities are Basrah and Kufah), from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr (رضي الله عنهما), who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Allah (عز وجل) will summon the debtor on the Day of Resurrection and stand him before Him, and He will say: O My servant, for what did you squander the wealth of people? He will say: O my Lord, You know that I did not waste it; rather it was lost through flood, or fire, or theft, or through business loss. Then Allah (عز وجل) will call for something and place it on his scale, and his good deeds will outweigh [his bad deeds].'
