Sayyidina Abu Mas’ud (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “A man belonging to an ummah that preceded you was subjected to reckoning but nothing of good was found in his account except that he was an affluent man who had dealings with people. He had commanded his slaves to condone (the debt of) a hard-pressed. So Allah said: We are more deserving of that, so forgive him.”
[Muslim 1561, Ahmed 17082]
