Hadith 139
۞
2. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from those whom he his mentioned (in his book) from al-Walid ibn abu a I - ‘ A I a ’ from Mu’attib who has said the following
“Once Muhammad ibn Bishr al-Washsha’ came to visit abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), asking the Imam to speak to Shihab to relieve him of repayment of a loan until the end of the time for Hajj. He owed him one thousand dinars. The Imam sent someone to call him. He (Shihab) came and the Imam said to him, ‘As you know Muhammad’s condition, he has cut off his association with others to keep himself close to us. He has mentioned he owes you one thousand dinars. These (dinars) are not consumed or spent on marriage. They are payable as loan to men. I wish you to waive it in his favor.’ He (Imam) then said, ‘You perhaps think that He will take from his (borrower’s) good deeds and give it to you.’ He (Shihab) said, ‘That is what we are told would happen.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), then said, ‘Allah is most Honorable and Just. How would He take away the good deeds of one of His servants who stands up for worship on cold nights, fasts on hot days, and walks seven times around the house (Ka‘bah), and give it away to another? In fact, Allah has a great deal of extra blessings to compensate a believing person.’ He (Shihab) said, ‘He is free (I waive the loan in his favor).”’

دَخَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْوَشَّاءُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ شِهَاباً أَنْ يُخَفِّفَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ الْمَوْسِمُ وَكَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ أَلْفُ دِينَارٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ حَالَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَانْقِطَاعَهُ إِلَيْنَا وَقَدْ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ لَمْ تَذْهَبْ فِي بَطْنٍ وَلا فَرْجٍ وَإِنَّمَا ذَهَبَتْ دَيْناً عَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَوَضَائِعَ وَضَعَهَا وَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَجْعَلَهُ فِي حِلٍّ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ مِمَّنْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ يُقْبَضُ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَتُعْطَاهَا فَقَالَ كَذَلِكَ فِي أَيْدِينَا فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الله أَكْرَمُ وَأَعْدَلُ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُهُ فَيَقُومَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْقَرَّةِ أَوْ يَصُومَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْحَارِّ أَوْ يَطُوفَ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ يَسْلُبُهُ ذَلِكَ فَيُعْطَاهُ وَلَكِنْ لله فَضْلٌ كَثِيرٌ يُكَافِي الْمُؤْمِنَ فَقَالَ فَهُوَ فِي حِلٍّ.
