Sahih Muslim 1561
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَىْءٌ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَكَانَ مُوسِرًا فَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ غِلْمَانَهُ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ " .
Yahya ibn Yahya, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, Abu Kurayb, and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us—the wording is Yahya's. Yahya said: Abu Muawiyah informed us; the others said: Abu Muawiyah narrated to us, from al-Amash, from Shaqiq, from Abu Masud, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man from among those who came before you was called to account. No good was found in his record except that he dealt with people as a man of means and instructed his servants to be lenient with those in hardship. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: We have more right to do that than he does. Overlook him.
