Hadith 13:3057
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Shaqiq, from Abu Mas'ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: A man from those who were before you was brought to account, and no good was found for him, except that he was a wealthy man who used to mix with people, and he would say to his servants: "Overlook [the debts of the people]." So Allah said to His angels: "We are more entitled to that than him; overlook [the sins of] him."
حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن شقيق عن أبي مسعود قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حوسب رجل ممن كان قبلكم فلم يوجد له من الخير شيء إلا أنه كان رجلا موسرا يخالط الناس فيقول لغلمانه تجاوزوا فقال الله لملائكته نحن أحق بذلك منه تجاوزوا عنه
