Musnad Ahmad 23463

Translation

✧ I sat with Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman and Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari. One of them said to the other: "Relate what you heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ." He said: "No, you relate." So one of them related to his companion, and the other confirmed him. He said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection, and God will say: 'Look at his deeds.' He will say: 'Lord, I did no good, except that I had wealth and I used to mix with people. Whoever was well-off, I made things easy for him; and whoever was in hardship, I gave him respite until ease.' God, Mighty and Majestic, will say: 'I am more entitled to make things easy.' And He forgave him." Then the other said: "You spoke truth; I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say this."

  سئل عن حديث ربعي عن أبي مسعود قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لقي رجل ربه عز وجل فقال ماذا عملت فقال ما عملت من خير إلا أني كنت أداين الناس فأنظر الموسر وأتجاوز عن المعسر فقال الله عز وجل تجاوزوا عنه وأسرف رجل فقال عند موته إذا أنا مت فاحرقوني الحديث فقال يرويه أبو مالك الأشجعي ونعيم بن أبي هند وعبد الملك بن عمير عن ربعي عن حذيفة وأبي مسعود ووهم فيه أبو خالد الأحمر فرواه عن أبي مالك الأشجعي عن ربعي عن حذيفة وقال فيه فقال عقبة بن عامر الجهني وأبو مسعود الأنصاري هكذا سمعناه من النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والصواب فقال عقبة بن عمرو أبو مسعود

  machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of Ribʿī from Abū Masʿūd, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A man met his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, and He said: What did you do? He said: I did no good except that I used to lend to people, so I would give respite to the well-off and overlook the one in difficulty. So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: Overlook his faults." And "A man was extravagant (in sin) and said at the time of his death: When I die, burn me..." - the hadith. He said: It is narrated by Abū Mālik al-Ashjaʿī, Nuʿaym b. Abī Hind and ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿUmayr, from Ribʿī, from Ḥudhayfah and Abū Masʿūd. Abū Khālid al-Aḥmar made an error (wahima) in it: he narrated it from Abū Mālik al-Ashjaʿī, from Ribʿī, from Ḥudhayfah, and said in it: ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir al-Juhanī and Abū Masʿūd al-Anṣārī said: "This is how we heard it from the Prophet ﷺ." The correct version is: ʿUqbah b. ʿAmr Abū Masʿūd said. Report a problem
