Isnad Chain
أبي مسعود البدري
English Translation
Abu Mas'ud Al-Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A person from amongst the people who lived before you was called to account by Allah on the Day of Resurrection. No good deeds were found in his credit except that he being a rich man had (financial) dealings with people and had commanded his servants to show leniency to those who were in straitened circumstances. Upon this Allah, the Exalted, and Majestic said: 'I am more entitled to this attribute, so waive (his faults)."'.
