حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ
أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ دَيْنٌ، وَكَانَ يَأْتِيهِ يَتَقَاضَاهُ، فَيَخْتَبِئُ مِنْهُ، فَجَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَخَرَجَ صَبِيٌّ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ هُوَ فِي الْبَيْتِ يَأْكُلُ خَزِيرَةً، فَنَادَاهُ: يَا فُلَانُ، اخْرُجْ، فَقَدْ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّكَ هَاهُنَا، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا يُغَيِّبُكَ عَنِّي؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي مُعْسِرٌ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي. قَالَ: آللهِ، إِنَّكَ مُعْسِرٌ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَبَكَى أَبُو قَتَادَةَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ غَرِيمِهِ - أَوْ: مَحَا عَنْهُ - كَانَ فِي ظِلِّ الْعَرْشِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

✧ Abū Qatādah was owed a debt by a man, and he would come to him to collect it, but the man would hide from him. One day he came, and a boy came out, so he asked him about the man. The boy said: "Yes, he is in the house eating a khazīrah." So he called out: "O so-and-so, come out, for I have been told you are here." He came out to him, and he said: "What keeps you hidden from me?" He said: "I am in hardship and have nothing." He said: "By Allah, are you truly in hardship?" He said: "Yes." Abū Qatādah wept, then said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever relieves his debtor—or forgives him—will be in the shade of the Throne on the Day of Resurrection.'"
