I used to trade with people, and it was my habit to be accommodating: I would make things easy for the well-off and grant respite to the one in hardship.” Allah will say, “I am more entitled than you to show that generosity—pardon My servant.” ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir and Abu Masʿūd al-Anṣārī, may Allah be pleased with them both, said, “This is exactly how we heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” Narrated by Muslim.
