Mansur ibn Abi Muzahim and Muhammad ibn Ja'far ibn Ziyad narrated to us — Mansur said: Ibrahim ibn Sa'd narrated to us, from al-Zuhri; and Ibn Ja'far said: Ibrahim, namely Ibn Sa'd, informed us, from Ibn Shihab, from 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Utba, from Abu Hurayra, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There was a man who gave loans to people, and he would say to his servant: 'When you come upon a person in hardship, forgive him [the debt], perhaps Allah will forgive us.' Then he met Allah, and He forgave him."
