Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَاتَ فَدَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْمَلُ قَالَ فَإِمَّا ذَكَرَ وَإِمَّا ذُكِّرَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ فَكُنْتُ أُنْظِرُ الْمُعْسِرَ وَأَتَجَوَّزُ فِي السِّكَّةِ أَوْ فِي النَّقْدِ فَغُفِرَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abd al-Malik ibn Umayr, from Rib'i ibn Hirash, from Hudhayfah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that a man died and entered Paradise. It was said to him, "What deeds did you use to do?" He said — either he recalled it himself or he was reminded — "I used to trade with people, and I would grant respite to the one in difficulty, and I would be lenient in matters of currency or payment." So he was forgiven. Abu Mas'ud said, "I too heard it from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him."
