The Kind Merchant

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ told of a merchant who lent money to people in need, and when they could not repay, gave them more time or forgave the debt, hoping Allah would forgive him. When the angels came to take his soul and asked about his good deeds, this was all he could remember. Because he had shown mercy to people, Allah forgave him.
