Be generous towards others; Be kind; Show compassion; Waive off debts; Give more time to debtors in difficulty

This hadith speaks about the importance of generosity and forgiveness. It was narrated from Mihjan the freed slave of 'Uthman that Uthman said he heard the Messenger of Allah say that Allah will shade with His shade on a day when there is no other shade but His a person who gave more time to a debtor who was in difficulty or waived a debt for one who had many debts. This means that Allah will reward those people who are generous and forgiving to those in debt by providing them with His own shade on an extremely hot day when there is no other source of relief from the heat. This teaches us that we should be kind and compassionate towards others even if they owe us something because it is possible for us to be rewarded by God for our good deeds.
