Riyad as-Salihin, 1373
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who gives respite to someone who is in straitened circumstances, or grants him remission, Allah will shelter him in the shade of His Throne, on the Day of Resurrection, when there will be no shade except its shade." <b>[At- Tirmidhi]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
من أنظر معسرًا أو وضع له، أظله الله يوم القيامة تحت ظل عرشه يوم لا ظل إلا ظله
. ((رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن صحيح)).

2) Every person will be under the shade of his charity on the Day of Judgment, and those who pardon the debts of insolvent people will be shaded under the throne of Allah, the Most Merciful.<br>
