عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ مَظْلِمَةٌ لِأَخِيهِ مِنْ عِرْضِهِ أَوْ شَيْءٍ، فَلْيَتَحَلَّلْهُ مِنْهُ اليَوْمَ، قَبْلَ أَنْ لاَ يَكُونَ دِينَارٌ وَلاَ دِرْهَمٌ، إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ، أُخِذَ مِنْهُ بِقَدْرِ مَظْلِمَتِهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٌ، أُخِذَ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ صَاحِبِهِ، فَحُمِلَ عَلَيْهِ».
Abu Hurayrah narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
1. Whoever has done something wrong to his brother, touching his honour or something else, should set things right with him today, before a time will come when there will be neither gold nor silver currency.
2. [What will happen then is that] if he has good deeds in his record, something equal to his wrong will be taken away. If he has no good deeds, some of the bad deeds of the other person will be transferred to him.
Everyone should make sure to set things right in his dealings with other people. If he has done some wrong to others, he should set it right, returning what he took unfairly, and seeking pardon for any offence he did. Otherwise, he will have to face a process where wrongs are repaired by an exchange of good and bad deeds.
