Good deed #460 – Be lenient to debtors

Hudhaifa reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

The angels received the soul of a man who lived before you. They said: Have you done anything good? The man said no. They said: Try to remember. The man said: I used to give loans and I would order my servants to be lenient with those in difficulty and to give relief even to those who could repay. Allah the Exalted said: Thus, you will be relieved.
