حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
إِنَّ رَجُلًا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ، كَانَ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ فَيَقُولُ لِرَسُولِهِ: خُذْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ وَاتْرُكْ مَا عَسُرَ، وَتَجَاوَزْ لَعَلَّ اللهَ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا، فَلَمَّا هَلَكَ قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ: هَلْ عَمِلْتَ [لِي] خَيْرًا قَطُّ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِي غُلَامٌ وَكُنْتُ أُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ، فَإِذَا بَعَثْتُهُ يَتَقَاضَى قُلْتُ لَهُ خُذْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ وَاتْرُكْ مَا عَسُرَ وَتَجَاوَزْ لَعَلَّ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنَّا، قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: قَدْ تَجَاوَزْتُ عَنْكَ

✧ There was a man who never did any good at all. He used to lend money to people and would say to his servant: Take what is easy and leave what is difficult, and overlook, so that Allah may overlook us. When he died, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said to him: Did you ever do any good for Me? He said: No, except that I had a servant and I used to lend money to people, and when I sent him to collect, I would say to him: Take what is easy and leave what is difficult, and overlook, so that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, may overlook us. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: I have overlooked you.
