Volume 4 Book 52 Hadith 293

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 293:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet said (to us), ” List the names of those people who have announced that they are
Muslims.” So, we listed one thousand and five hundred men. Then we wondered, “Should we be
afraid (of infidels) although we are one thousand and five hundred in number?” No doubt, we wit –
nessed ourselves being afflicted with such bad trials that one would have to offer the prayer alone in
fear.

Volume 3 Book 41 Hadith 576

Volume 3, Book 41, Number 576:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
I heard the Prophet saying, “Once a man died and was asked, ‘What did you use to say (or do) (in
your life time)?’ He replied, ‘I was a business-man and used to give time to the rich to repay his debt
and (used to) deduct part of the debt of the poor.’ So he was forgiven (his sins.)” Abu Masud said, “I
heard the same (Hadith) from the Prophet.”

Volume 3 Book 34 Hadith 291

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 291:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet 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 narra –
tion, ‘grant time to the well-off and forgive the needy,’ or, ‘accept from the well-off and forgive the
needy.’
