What is the source of this narration?
‘A man was granted Jannah. He didn’t have good deeds but would waive the people of their debt.’
Answer:
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (radiyallahu’anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
‘There was a man in the past who was about to die. The Angel asked him: ‘Have you ever did any good?’
He replied: ‘I am unaware of such.’
He was told to think again after which he said: ‘I don’t know of anything [good that I did] besides the fact that I would be lenient when dealing with people; I would give time to the one who could still afford and waive [the debt of] the one who couldn’t afford it.’
Allah Ta’ala admitted this person to Jannah.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 3451. Also see Hadith: 2077 and 2078)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
