Reward of condoning a loanee for the sake of Allah’s Respect

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِیمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِیدِ الطَّائِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ع قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِیُّ ص مَنْ قَدَّمَ غَرِیماً إِلَی السُّلْطَانِ یَسْتَحْلِفُهُ وَ هُوَ یَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ یَحْلِفُ ثُمَّ تَرَکَهُ تَعْظِیماً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ یَرْضَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِمَنْزِلَهٍ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ إِلَّا مَنْزِلَهَ إِبْرَاهِیمَ خَلِیلِ الرَّحْمَنِ.
1. Imam Musa Kadhim عليه السلام narrates that the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, “One who takes a loanee to a ruler and he knows that he has taken a false oath; but due to the sake of the respect of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, he condones the loanee, Allah would not be satisfied with nothing less than giving him the position of Ibrahim, the friend of the Beneficent.”
