حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رِبْعِيَّ بْنَ حِرَاشٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَنَّ رَجُلاً مَاتَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا عَمِلْتَ - فَإِمَّا ذَكَرَ أَوْ ذُكِّرَ - قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَتَجَوَّزُ فِي السِّكَّةِ وَالنَّقْدِ وَأُنْظِرُ الْمُعْسِرَ . فَغَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو مُسْعُودٍ أَنَا قَدْ، سَمِعْتُ هَذَا، مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Abu Amir narrated to us: Shubah narrated to us, from Abd al-Malik ibn Umayr, who said: I heard Ribii ibn Hirash relating from Hudhayfah, from the Prophet ﷺ. A man died, and he was asked what he had done—or he recalled, or was reminded—and he said, “I used to be lenient in handling currency and collecting payment, and I used to give respite to a debtor in difficulty.” So Allah forgave him. Abu Masud said: I heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source preserves uncertainty in the phrase “he recalled, or was reminded,” and includes Abu Masud confirmation after the report. السكة والنقد is rendered broadly as leniency in handling currency and collecting payment; the exact financial practice is not further specified in this wording.
