Minhaj as-SunnahIbn Taimiya

It is established in an authentic hadith (1) from the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—that he said:

“Whoever has (2) wronged his brother with respect to his honor (3) or anything else should seek his pardon for it (4) today, before there is neither dirham nor dinar. If he has a righteous deed, some of it will be taken from him in proportion to the wrong he committed. If he has no good deeds, some of his companion’s sins will be taken and cast upon him, and then he will be cast into the Fire.”

It was transmitted in the two Sahīh collections. (5). This establishes that a wrongdoer may have good deeds from which the wronged party receives in full (6) what is rightfully his.

Likewise, it is authentically reported from the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—that he (7) said:

“What do you consider a bankrupt person among you to be?”

They replied, “Among us, a bankrupt person is one who has neither dirham nor dinar.”

He said:

“The bankrupt person is one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds as great as (8) mountains, yet he insulted one person, took another’s wealth, shed another’s blood, falsely accused another of illicit sex, and struck another (9). Each is then given (10) some of his good deeds, and when they are exhausted

وَقَدْ ثَبَتَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ (١) الصَّحِيحِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " «مَنْ كَانَتْ (٢) عِنْدَهُ لِأَخِيهِ مَظْلَمَةٌ مِنْ عِرْضٍ (٣) أَوْ شَيْءٍ فَلْيَتَحَلَّلْهُ مِنْهُ (٤) الْيَوْمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ دِرْهَمٌ وَلَا دِينَارٌ، إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ أَخَذَ مِنْهُ بِقَدْرِ مَظْلَمَتِهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٌ أَخَذَ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ صَاحِبِهِ فَطُرِحَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ» " . أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ.
