"عَن ابْن مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: حُوسبَ رَجُلٌ فَلَمْ تُوجدْ لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ، فَقِيلَ: إِنَّهُ كانَ لَهُ مَالٌ، وَكَانَ يُدَاينُ النَّاسَ، فَكَانَ يَقُولُ لغِلْمَانِهِ: مَنْ وَجَدْتُمُوُه مُوسِرًا فَخُذُوا منْهُ، وَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ مُعْسِرًا فَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ، لَعَلَّ الله أنْ يَتَجَاوزَ عَنِّى فَقَالَ الله: أَنَا أَحَقُّ مَنْ يَتَجَاوَزُ عَنْهُ".

"On the authority of Ibn Mas'ud, he said: A man was called to account, but no good deed was found for him. It was said: He had wealth and used to lend money to people, and he would say to his servants: Whoever you find well-off, take from him, and whoever you find in difficulty, overlook him, perhaps Allah will overlook me. Allah said: I have more right than anyone to overlook him."
