Ahmed bin 'Abdullah Atbāʿ Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn 133 AH – 227 AH Zuhayr bin Mua'wiya bin Hudayj Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn 100 AH – ~174 AH Mansur bin al-Ma'tamar al-Salmi Tābiʿī d. 132 AH Raba'i bin Harash bin Jahsh Tābiʿī d. ~101 AH Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman Companion d. ~37 AH/658 CE

Narrated Hudhaifa:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Before your time the angels received the soul of a man and asked him, 'Did you do any good deeds (in your life)?' He replied, 'I used to order my employees to grant time to the rich person to pay his debts at his convenience.' So Allah said to the angels; "Excuse him." Rabi said that (the dead man said), 'I used to be easy to the rich and grant time to the poor.' Or, in another narration, 'grant time to the well-off and forgive the needy,' or, 'accept from the well-off and forgive the needy.'
